@motiadev/ws-plugin

A Motia workbench plugin for real-time WebSocket log monitoring and debugging.

Credits: Originally created by @potatocoder (Rohith Gilla) as @potatocoder/ws-plugin. Now maintained as an official Motia plugin.

Overview

This plugin adds a "WebSockets" tab to the Motia workbench bottom panel, providing:

• Real-time WebSocket message monitoring
• Stream subscription management (logs, API endpoints, custom streams)
• JSON syntax highlighting with expand/collapse for large payloads
• Message filtering by stream
• Connection status indicators
• Copy-to-clipboard functionality

Installation

npm install @motiadev/ws-plugin
# or
pnpm add @motiadev/ws-plugin

Usage

Add the plugin to your motia.config.ts:

import wsPlugin from '@motiadev/ws-plugin/plugin'

export default {
  plugins: [wsPlugin],
}

The plugin will automatically appear as a "WebSockets" tab in the bottom panel of your Motia workbench.

Features

Stream Subscriptions

The plugin auto-subscribes to default Motia streams on connection:

• __motia.logs - Application logs
• __motia.api-endpoints - API request/response events

Add custom streams via the "Add" button in the stream bar.

Message Types

Messages are color-coded by type:

• System - Connection events (amber)
• Error - Error messages (red)
• Sync/Create/Update/Delete - CRUD operations (various colors)
• Sent - Outgoing messages (blue)
