Examples Overview

The examples give an overview of the features of WAMP by providing working code.

Read, run, and modify as you like!

There are two main sources of examples:

• the Autobahn|Python repository - for an overview see the Autobahn|Python documentation
• the Crossbar.io examples repository - for an overview see the Crossbar.io documentation

note

The JavaScript code provided generally runs both in the browser and in Node.js. When using the browser, load the JavaScript via the provided HTML page. Each example also contains Python versions. Python and JavaScript versions are interoperable: You may run e.g. a JavaScript subscriber and a Python publisher.

Running examples

All examples require a WAMP router.

We suggest using Crossbar.io, an open source WAMP application router.

For the installation of Crossbar.io, see the project documentation.

Examples from the Autobahn|Python repo

Once you've installed Crossbar.io, open a command shell, create a test directory, initialize Crossbar.io and start it.

mkdir test1
cd test 1
crossbar init
crossbar start

Code runs both in the browser and in Node.js.

For the latter, you need to have Autobahn|JS installed. To do so, in a shell do

npm install autobahn
npm install when

Examples from the crossbarexamples repo

The examples here all include a Crossbar.io configuration for the example.

So do

crossbar start

in the example directory and then open a Web browser to 'localhost:8080'.
