//         name: string;
//         pass_key: string;
//         user_id: string;
//         created_at: string;
//         updated_at: string;
//     }

})

// Expected response
// {
//   id: string;
//   name: string;

const channelResponse = ws.getOrCreateChannel({
    channelId: "<CHANNEL_UUID>",
    channel: "channel_name"
    regenerate_pass_key: false; // (optional) If regenerate_pass_key is true the channel passkey will be regenerated
})

Accessing a channel's websocket URL

It is possible to access a channel websocket URL by channel name, through the getConnectionUrl function:

const connectionUrl = ws.getConnectionUrl({
  channelName: CHANNEL_NAME,
  channelPassKey: CHANNEL_PASSKEY,
})

// The expected return of the connectionUrl is a websocket connection e.g wss://backend.websuckit.com/e762eaad-397b-4af8-9376-a8eff2731966/bright/{encrypted_token}

• channelName - name of channel
• channelPassKey - channel passkey
