Websocket server in Elixir or phoenix

I’m trying to make a websocket server in Phoenix or raw Elixir. I heard about gun, I think I could use cowboy, but since I’m not that smart I thought I’d go as high level as possible.

I found this thread:

and this one:

and forked his code to:
https://github.com/SatoriNetwork/phx_raws

I as I was bringing it up to date I ran into this issue:

Phoenix.Socket.Transport.connect/6 is undefined or private. Did you mean:

 * connect_info/3Elixir

Call to missing or unexported function ‘Elixir.Phoenix.Socket.Transport’:connect/6ElixirLS Dialyzer

on this line:
case Transport.connect(endpoint, handler, transport, __MODULE__, nil, conn.params) do

so after consulting the docs, which I don’t understand I came up with this, which I;m sure is wildly incorrect as well:

case Transport.connect(
          %{:endpoint=>endpoint, :transport=>transport, :params=>conn.params, :options=>[
            handler: handler, __MODULE__: __MODULE__, serializer: nil]}) do

But it told me I shouldn’t use this function anyway:

Phoenix.Socket.Transport.connect/1 is undefined or private. Did you mean:

 * connect_info/3Elixir

Call to missing or unexported function ‘Elixir.Phoenix.Socket.Transport’:connect/1ElixirLS Dialyzer

I think the code is almost updated, but what do I have to do to get it to a working state?

There is a simpler API in Phoenix for custom websockets, you can follow the example here:

Using cowboy might be easier than you think. Here’s a small example of how it could be done. The important bits are the plug child spec and the module implementing cowboy_websocket behaviour. You can ignore the Web.UserSocket and “pubsub” specifics.

More info on cowboy_websocket behaviour.

Figured out this part

socket("/", RelayWeb.Sockets.EchoSocket, websocket: [path: ""])

Thank you @RooSoft! I was trying to solve these 2 specific problems (path, ping) myself and your solutions to both work perfectly.

Careful that sending pongs in response to client pings is explicitly handled for you by the underlying server in the WebSock world: WebSock — WebSock v0.4.3
