    Keep in mind that ActionCable implements its own JSON-based payload structure on top of web sockets. So you would need to build something on top of the basic web socket package to be able to exchange messages with a Rails backend. A quick google suggests there are a couple of ruby-based projects that have done that. You might check out action-cable-client, which doesn't look particularly maintained, but might give you a place to start.
