satom99
In a Phoenix-based project, it is rather tedious to get a raw cowboy websocket working manually, as one is required to set-up a custom dispatch as well as to handle the socket itself. Therefore, after a few hours of testing and reading through the source code, I have come up with a solution that follows Phoenix’ semantics nicely.
Repository: GitHub - satom99/phx_raws: Raw websocket server on top of Phoenix. · GitHub
Contributions are more than welcome, especially to keep it updated and prevent it from breaking as Phoenix continues to evolve.

Nice! People have been asking for this many times. Maybe the
handlecallback should be namedhandle_into match Phoenix Channel API?satom99
I think
handlesuits better as a generic name, as it does receive both incoming data and a few events. Plus switching to_inwould only make sense if there was an_outcounterpart, which is not the case.Would like to hear more comments on this
On events (i.e.
:closed), I thought adding a separate callback for them would be a bit overkill - which is why they’re dispatched through the same generic callback, what do you think?
