You can do so // inside a script tag in "lib/web/templates/layout/app.html.eex": // // // // You will need to verify the user token in the "connect/2" function // in "lib/web/channels/user_socket.ex": // // def connect(%{"token" => token}, socket) do // # max_age: 1209600 is equivalent to two weeks in seconds // case Phoenix.Token.verify(socket, "user socket", token, max_age: 1209600) do // {:ok, user_id} -> // {:ok, assign(socket, :user, user_id)} // {:error, reason} -> // :error // end // end // // Finally, pass the token on connect as below. Or remove it // from connect if you don't care about authentication. socket.connect() // Now that you are connected, you can join channels with a topic: let channel = socket.channel('topic:subtopic', {}) channel.join() .receive('ok', resp => { console.log('Joined successfully', resp) }) .receive('error', resp => { console.log('Unable to join', resp) }) export default socket
