Hey! Im working on this problem where I have to create a function in Phoenix where I run it in the IEX with a string, itll show that string on multiple browser windows (which are opened to that port that the server is running on). I have received hints that I might have to use LivewView or PubSub. I…

Here is my socket.js file in my phoenix app import { Socket } from "phoenix" let socket = new Socket("/socket", { params: { token: window.userToken } }) socket.connect() let channel = socket.channel("room:lobby", {}) let chatInput = document.querySelector("#chat-input") let messagesContainer =…

The alias of the endpoint… Something like YourAppWeb.Endpoint. This module would be in file lib/your_app_web/endpoint.ex Oh… by the way, test files are not compiled, First they are in test folder, second exs are for elixir script files and are not meant to be compiled. Rename it to ex, put it in l…

defmodule Test do def broadcast(message) do Test.Endpoint.broadcast!("room:lobby", "new_msg", %{body: message}) end end I cant seem to find the correct alias. So this file is located in lib/test.ex , which is not located in the lib/test_web folder. I believe I am calling Endpoint the wr…

Well, what is the name You gave to your phoenix application?

try this $ mix phx.new phanendery $ cd phanendery $ cat lib/phanendery_web/endpoint.ex

Should I do this in a new folder?
