Hi all ,

Does anyone know how to make synchronous websocket call without passing ref to websocket server ?

Let say server A is our elixir app and server B is websocket server , I’ve found some solutions like :

  1. Self Direction | HHAeXchange
  2. phoenix_client/lib/phoenix_client/socket.ex at master · mobileoverlord/phoenix_client · GitHub

but those solutions must passing the ‘ref’ data to the websocket server and return it back to our elixir app,
is there any other solution ?

I’m using websockex btw

thx

Am I use it wrong ?

WebSocket doesn’t have synchronous requests.

The Phoenix Channel JavaScript client sends an event with a ref and then listens for the response from the server with that ref. When it sees it, it involves your callback from the client.
