AbsintheWebSocket

This libary uses WebSockets to communicate with a GraphQL endpoint built using Absinthe and Phoenix Channels. Its primary goal is to allow clients to use Subscriptions, although it also supports queries. It uses WebSockex as a WebSocket client. It also handles the specifics of Phoenix Channels (heartbeats) and how Absinthe subscriptions were implemented on top of them.
