Django - Async Django

ADefine both connect and get methods in the same consumer class

BUse ProtocolTypeRouter to route HTTP and WebSocket protocols to different consumers

CUse only WebsocketConsumer since it supports HTTP by default

DConfigure ASGI to ignore HTTP requests and handle only WebSocket

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand ProtocolTypeRouter role
ProtocolTypeRouter directs HTTP requests to Django's ASGI application and WebSocket requests to Channels consumers.

Use ProtocolTypeRouter to route HTTP and WebSocket protocols to different consumers -> Option B
