Absinthe Subscriptions alternative?
Hi, trying to use elixir/phoenix/absinthe on the backend and nextjs with typescript on the frontend. Everything seems to be well except that Absinthe/graphql subscriptions seem to be abandoned, outdated corejs, etc. If you are doing subscriptions is there another way ?

I’ll have to implement GraphQL subscriptions in my codebase soon.
I assume that you refer to the package absinthe-socket. I didnt look into it yet but can’t we just use the native JS WebSocket object?

I recommend GitHub - absinthe-graphql/absinthe_graphql_ws: Add graphql-ws websocket transport for Absinthe · GitHub for absinthe websockets. It uses the graphql_ws protocol instead of absinthe over Phoenix channels that is used by absinthe_socket. It’s well supported by client libraries in JavaScript and other languages.

Thank you for your help! I got confused that graphql-ws has also code for the server. It’s a pity that it is not separated into two packages, as if you don’t run the server on NodeJS, you only need the client-specific code.
