Elm 0.19.x package for Phoenix WebSockets

A very simple to use Package that provides your Elm program access to the PhoenixJS API.

In order for your Elm program to talk to PhoenixJS, you will need to add a JavaScript file to your Phoenix project and a very small Port module to your Elm src files.

Roadmap

• Add pushSequence function. I would like to add the ability to provide a list of pushes that will be actioned in sequence. This will need to handle some decision making based on if a push succeeds, errors, or results in a timeout. I will be looking into this as soon as I am able to find the time. Pull requests are welcome.
