WebSockex

An Elixir Websocket Client.

The client itself is provided through the WebSockex.Client module.

defmodule WebSocketExample do
  use WebSockex.Client

  def start_link(url, state) do
    WebSockex.Client.start_link(url, __MODULE__, state)
  end

  def handle_frame({type, msg}, state) do
    IO.puts "Recieved Message - Type: #{inspect type} -- Message: #{inspect msg}"
  end
end
