Phoenix Channels Testing

This plug-in allows painless testing of communication with a Phoenix app via channels. It is intended to use by developers creating Phoenix applications, primarily proof-of-concept versions without extensive unit testing.

Phoenix channels run over WebSocket protocol and require some service messages for the server part to distinguish between different topics. This plug-in uses same JavaScript implementation which is bundled with Phoenix and provides nice UI to make it easier to use.

The plug-in stores up to 10 recent values of URL, topic, event and message and allows selecting them when typing in a value with help of autocompletion, makes it possible to see all frames (pretty much like in Chrome Dev Tools), resend a frame, preview JSON payloads and copy frame's text to the clipboard.
