assistant: I apologize for the inconsistency in formatting. I strive to provide clear and well-formatted responses for all of my users.

Regarding the code, here's a reformatted version with correct indentation:

Server-side code using Node.js WebSocket:
``` 
const WebSocket = require('ws');

const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 8080 });

wss.on('connection', (ws) => {
  console.log('Client connected');

  ws.on('message', (message) => {
    console.log(`Received message: ${message}`);

    // Broadcast message to all clients
    wss.clients.forEach((client) => {
      if (client.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
        client.send(message);
      }
    });
  });

  ws.on('close', () => {
    console.log('Client disconnected');
  });
});
``` 
Client-side code using JavaScript:
``` 
const socket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8080');

socket.addEventListener('open', (event) => {
  console.log('Connected to server');
});

socket.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
  console.log(`Received message: ${event.data}`);
});

socket.addEventListener('close', (event) => {
  console.log('Disconnected from server');
});
``` 

I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

assistant: Here is a list of code from that response with consistent formatting.
```
const WebSocket = require('ws');
const wss = new WebSocket.Server({ port: 8080 });
wss.on('connection', (ws) => {
    console.log('Client connected');
    ws.on('message', (message) => {
        console.log(Received message: ${message});
        // Broadcast message to all clients
        wss.clients.forEach((client) => {
            if (client.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
                client.send(message);
            }
    });
});
```
```
ws.on('close', () => {
    console.log('Client disconnected');
});
```
```
const socket = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:8080');
socket.addEventListener('open', (event) => {
    console.log('Connected to server');
});
socket.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
    console.log(Received message: ${event.data});
});
socket.addEventListener('close', (event) => {
    console.log('Disconnected from server');
});
```
```
wss.clients.forEach((client) => {
    if (client.readyState === WebSocket.OPEN) {
        client.send('Hello, clients!');
    }
});
```
```socket.send('Hello, server!');```

assistant: This example, will create a WebSocket connection to a server at wss://example.com/push. When the connection is opened, the client sends a message to the server indicating that it wants to subscribe to the notifications topic. When the server has a new notification to push to subscribed clients, it sends a message to the client with a type of notification and a payload containing the notification data. The client then handles the received notification by calling a handleNotification function which logs the notification to the console. In a real-world application, the handleNotification function would likely perform more meaningful actions, such as displaying the notification to the user.


// Create a WebSocket connection
const socket = new WebSocket('wss://example.com/push');

// When the socket is opened, send a message to the server to subscribe to a specific topic
socket.addEventListener('open', (event) => {
  socket.send(JSON.stringify({ topic: 'notifications' }));
});

// When a message is received from the server, handle it accordingly
socket.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
  const message = JSON.parse(event.data);
  switch (message.type) {
    case 'notification':
      handleNotification(message.payload);
      break;
    default:
      console.log(`Received unknown message type: ${message.type}`);
  }
});

// Handle a received notification
function handleNotification(payload) {
  console.log(`Received notification: ${payload}`);
  // Do something with the notification, such as displaying it to the user
}

prompter: Thanks! However, can you please explain the code in easier terms?

assistant: The code creates a WebSocket connection to `wss://example.com/push`, subscribes to a 'notifications' topic, and then prints every incoming notification to the debug console. You can add your own code to the `handleNotification` function, to handle incoming notifications however you would like to.

assistant: Sure, here are the main steps in plain english:

1. connect to the server
2. subscribe to notifications
3. handle notifications
