How to close connection in Action cable?

Question

How to disconnect a client in Action cable (rails 5)? I would like the user to be completely disconnected (similar to when he closes the tab).

Answer 1

My work around was to create a new route just for disconnect.

def disconnection
    ActionCable.server.remote_connections.where(connected_user: user_params['email']).disconnect

   render json: {}, status: 200 
end

The client side would have to call the endpoint... something like

PUT  /api/cable/disconnection
