-# scala-stomp-client-demo
+# Scala Stomp Client Demo
 
+A demo of using a stomp client in Scala with an Ammonite script. Makes use of the java library [java-stomp-ws](https://github.com/gim-/java-stomp-ws) and provides two convenience extension methods. By default the script queries the websocket endpoints of [Chatto](https://git.arcusiridis.com/nova/Chatto).
+
+## Usage
+
+You need to have [ammonite](https://ammonite.io) installed.
+
+Once you have done that, start a local instance of Chatto, and run the command -
+
+```
+amm stompTest.sc --username yourusername --password yourpassword
+```
+
+or
+
+```
+./stompTest.sc --username yourusername --password yourpassword
+```
+
+Sample output -
+
+```
+Success(true)
+Connected
+Server message: pong
+Server message: {"toUser":"admin","fromUser":"nova","messageContent":"hello"}
+```
