Room connection

[ricvillagrana]

Is there a way to connect to a room? I successfully connected to a channel but I need to connect to a specified room. How to achieve this with es6-actioncable?

Once you have subscribed to a channel you'll want to use the 'perform' or 'send' command on the subscription to do perform actions on that Subscription. See https://github.com/eacaps/es6-actioncable/blob/master/dist/actioncable/cable/Subscription.js

Here's a example of how it would look:

const subscription = WebSocket.getConsumer().subscriptions.create("MyChannel", {
      connected: function () {
        console.log('connected to mychannel');
      },
      received: function (data) {
        //do stuff with data
      }
    });
subscription.perform('follow', {id: 1234});

That will send a WS message that looks something like this:

{"command":"message","identifier":"{\"channel\":\"MyChannel\"}","data":"{\"action\":\"follow\",\"id\":1234}"}

And on the server it would call the follow method on MyChannel.rb
