sending messages directly through the websocket

[Thomas Dziedzic]

Hi,

I'm looking into possibly sending client events (messages) to the
server through the already established websocket and it seems I'm
having a lot of difficulty doing this.
What I would like is a way to publish to a channel from the javascript
client using the already existing websocket.
I looked into public/application.js but it seems that it's obfuscated
code which I can't use.
Do you have any suggestions on where I should look next since I'm
stuck trying to figure this out.
