Lack of tutorials and explanations about channels

[Dossou Mawussekuifan Gloria Donald KANTI]

Why aren't there much tutorials and explanations about Channels and websocket integration in django over the internet ? Quite confusing. How can we get to know and understand it more if nobody wants to explain it. I am new to python and drf, wanna implement some realtime features in my app but no chance to get good resources explaining very well how things can be done. If there are some pros here knowing very well about the topic please, write some blog or make some detailed youtube videos to explain the topic. It will really help me and others in the future. It is crucial also for the image of django. Thank you

You and me both are on the same page about documentation about Channels.  I tried to follow: Django Channels Tutorial 🔥: the most minimal Real Time app (not Chat) | Django WebSockets on YouTube, but I kept running into issues.  If you can follow this video, and figure it out, let me know if it is missing something.

I am a huge fan of Django.  But I will agree that the documentation is most areas beyond the absolute basics is abysmal.  I have a lot written in Django in Class Based Views because I read early on they were the way to go.  I'm not going to tell you how much research and time it took me but it was a lot.  Django is super powerful and it's amazing....but the documentation...while maybe better than any other framework is still very lacking for people in my humble opinion.  The documentation and books that I've come across are written in a way that they assume you already understand it and they pick up from there.  Love django.  Agree with the comment about documentation about Channels and as I've expressed most of the other documentation as well.
