J0/phoenix_gen_socket_client

This system is a retired Elixir library, GenSocketClient, designed to facilitate WebSocket connections for Phoenix Channels. It provides a configurable client implementation that manages persistent connections, handles reconnection logic, and supports JSON serialization via Jason. The project includes a complete example application demonstrating usage and has been updated to align with modern Phoenix and Elixir standards.

The example directory now contains a complete Phoenix application that demonstrates how to use the GenSocketClient library. This includes a WebSocket client implementation in \lib/example/socket\_client.ex\ that connects to a local server, handles reconnection, and manages a ping/pong topic. The example also provides the necessary server-side Phoenix channel (\PingChannel\) and socket configuration (\UserSocket\) to facilitate this connection, along with standard Phoenix project structure files like configuration, routing, and static assets.

The library now supports WebSocket connections via a new \WebSocketClient\ transport module. Users can configure the transport using options such as \keepalive\ (defaulting to 30 seconds to prevent server timeouts), \extra\_headers\, and \ssl\_verify\, which are passed directly to the underlying \websocket\_client\ library. This enables persistent connections with automatic ping/pong handling to maintain connectivity.

This change introduces Credo for code style checking by adding a new \config/.credo.exs\ file that defines consistency and readability rules, including environment-specific checks for development and test modes. It also updates \config/config.exs\ to use the \Mix.env()\ function instead of the deprecated \Mix.env\ macro for importing environment-specific configuration files. Additionally, a new \config/docs.exs\ file is added to support documentation generation, and the test configuration is updated to include a configuration entry for \phoenix\_gen\_socket\_client\.

The library has been officially retired and is no longer maintained, with no further security fixes or updates planned (as of version 3.2.2). The documentation has been significantly expanded to cover installation, prerequisites, and usage details for the final supported version 4.1.0, which allows passing socket options to the underlying websocket client. The README now includes badges, a detailed usage guide, and references to the MIT license and Travis CI build status.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The library has been renamed from \Channels.Client\ to \Phoenix.Channels\ and the core socket module has been moved from \lib/socket.ex\ to \lib/gen\_socket\_client.ex\. This change introduces a new \GenSocketClient\ behavior that supports configurable transports, allows passing query parameters during connection initialization, and adds support for synchronous calls and optional terminate callbacks. The previous \TestSocket\ and \WebsocketTransport\ modules have been removed as the new implementation handles transport abstraction differently.

lib · high confidence

The GenSocketClient library now uses the Jason library instead of Poison for encoding and decoding JSON messages. This change updates the internal serializer modules (Json and GzipJson) to call Jason.decode!/1 and Jason.encode/1, which may affect users who relied on Poison-specific error handling or configuration, as the library no longer depends on Poison for JSON processing.

Updated test support infrastructure to use Phoenix 1.3 and Registry; Updated tests for GenSocketClient module and behavior.

The example project now uses Phoenix 1.3, Jason 1.1, and websocket\_client 1.2, replacing the previous local dependency reference with a standard hex dependency for the client library. The main library's mix.exs has been updated to require Elixir 1.8, upgraded to Phoenix 1.3 for tests, replaced the gproc dependency with the standard library's registry (implied by removal and Elixir version), and added Credo, Dialyze, and ExDoc 0.22 for development and documentation.
