extern crate actix_web;
extern crate sockjs;
use actix_web::*;
use actix::prelude::*;
use sockjs::{Message, Session, CloseReason, SockJSManager, SockJSContext};

/// Session has to implement `Default` trait
impl Default for Chat {

/// Sockjs session trait
impl Session for Chat {

/// Session has to be able to handle `sockjs::Message` messages
impl Handler<Message> for Chat {

Application::new()
// register SockJS application
.handler(

.bind("127.0.0.1:8080").unwrap()
.start();
// let _ = sys.run();
