In this episode we build out the chat page, and set up Phoenix Channels along with the JavaScript to connect to them. Here's the plan:

• Create the eex template for the chatrooms
• Set up the UserSocket and RoomChannel on the back-end.
• Write the JavaScript for the chat room to connect to the socket and join the appropriate channel.
• Display chats on the front-end.

At the end of this episode, we have an anonymous chat set up for each room created.
