6   channelId: "123",
7   onOpen: () => {
8     console.log("Connected to the WebSocket");
9   },
10   onMessage: (message) => {
11     console.log(message);
12   },
13 });
14 
15 await socket.send("Hello, world!");
16 
17 socket.on("close", () => {
18   console.log("WebSocket connection closed");
19 });
20 
21 await socket.send("Bye, world!");
