## Installation

Add `phoenix_socket_bert` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:phoenix_socket_bert, "~> 1.0"}
  ]
end
```

## Usage

Set the `:serializer` option in your `Phoenix.Socket` configuration:

**endpoint.ex**

```elixir
socket "/live", Phoenix.LiveView.Socket,
  longpoll: [connect_info: [session: @session_options]],
  websocket: [
    connect_info: [session: @session_options],
    serializer: [{Phoenix.Socket.V2.BERTSerializer, "~> 2.0.0"}]
  ]

socket "/socket", Phoenix.Socket,
  websocket: [
    serializer: [{Phoenix.Socket.V2.BERTSerializer, "~> 2.0.0"}]
  ]
```

Import the `phoenix_socket_bert` in your app.js and add `decode` option to the `LiveSocket` configuration:

**app.js**

```javascript
import { decode } from 'phoenix_socket_bert'
import { LiveSocket } from 'phoenix_live_view'
import { Socket } from 'phoenix'

let csrfToken = document.querySelector('meta[name="csrf-token"]').getAttribute('content')
let liveSocket = new LiveSocket('/live', Socket, {
  decode: decode,
  longPollFallbackMs: 2500,
  params: { _csrf_token: csrfToken }
})

liveSocket.connect()

let socket = new Socket("/socket", { decode: decode, params: { token: csrfToken } })
socket.connect()
```
