SlenderChannel

A small, dependency-free module that exposes helpful macros for working with Phoenix Channels.

Usage

The package can be installed by adding slender_channel to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:slender_channel, "~> 0.2.0"}]
end

To leverage SlenderChannel's macros, simply use it within your Phoenix Channel:

defmodule YourPhoenixApp.YourChannel do
  use YourPhoenixApp.Web, :channel
  use SlenderChannel

  # ...
end

And leverage the macros within said channel.

handle_in_and_broadcast "bobby_dumped_stacy", %{"pettiness" => 10}

handle_in_and_broadcast_from "urgent message", %{"ETA" => "10 minutes"}

Under the hood, becomes:

def handle_in("bobby_dumped_stacy", %{"pettiness" => 10}, socket)
  Phoenix.Channel.broadcast! socket, "bobby_dumped_stacy", %{"pettiness" => 10}
  {:noreply, socket}
end

def handle_in("urgent message", %{"ETA" => "10 minutes"}, socket) do
  Phoenix.Channel.broadcast_from! socket, "urgent message", %{"ETA" => "10 minutes"}
  {:noreply, socket}
end
