[SOLVED] Is it possible to give Rails' ApplicationCable module a custom name?

Is it possible to give Rails' ApplicationCable module a custom name?

Works:

# /channels/application_cable/connection.rb
module ApplicationCable
  class Connection < ActionCable::Connection::Base
    identified_by :current_user
  end
end

Throws no method error in inheriting channel that "current_user" is undefined:

# /channels/custom_cable/connection.rb
module CustomCable
  class Connection < ActionCable::Connection::Base
    identified_by :current_user
  end
end

Solution

You can organize your custom namespace (connection and parent channel) such way:

# app/channels/my_custom_namespace/channel.rb
module MyCustomNamespace
  class Channel < ActionCable::Channel::Base
    # class body
  end
end

# app/channels/my_custom_namespace/connection.rb
module MyCustomNamespace
  class Connection < ActionCable::Connection::Base
    # class body
  end
end

And change connection class:

# config/application.rb
# other configs
config.action_cable.connection_class = -> { MyCustomNamespace::Connection }
# other configs

After that you can create children channels
