A slick websocket client for Phoenix channels

See the [online documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/slipstream)

## Main Features

- backed by `:gun` instead of `:websocket_client`
- an `await_*` interface for a interacting synchronously
- built-in re-connect and re-join machinisms matching `phoenix.js`
- a testing framework for clients

## Installation

Add slipstream to you dependencies in `mix.exs`:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:slipstream, "~> 0.2"}
  ]
end
```

> N.B.: Slipstream is still being evaluated and tested in production. Once the
> interface is stable and initial bugs worked out, a v1.0.0 version will be
> published.
