how to log all phoenix.js websocket messages

Quick phoenix.js websocket tip, log all messages

This works for phoenix 0.16.1, not sure if it will continue to function this way.

just add this as a 2ns arg to your new socket.

var socket = new Phoenix.Socket("/status",{logger: (kind, msg, data) => { console.log(`${kind}: ${msg}`, data) }})

This helps if your chan.on(“foo”,… is not working and you want to see what is happening under the covers
