+# A new subscription is created through the Cable.Subscriptions instance available on the consumer.
+# It provides a number of callbacks and a method for calling remote procedure calls on the corresponding
+# Channel instance on the server side.
+#
+# An example demonstrates the basic functionality:
+#
+# App.appearance = App.cable.subscriptions.create "AppearanceChannel",
+# connected: ->
+# # Called once the subscription has been successfully completed
+#
+# appear: ->
+# @perform 'appear', appearing_on: @appearingOn()
+#
+# away: ->
+# @perform 'away'
+#
+# appearingOn: ->
+# $('main').data 'appearing-on'
+#
+# The methods #appear and #away forward their intent to the remote AppearanceChannel instance on the server
+# by calling the `@perform` method with the first parameter being the action (which maps to AppearanceChannel#appear/away).
+# The second parameter is a hash that'll get JSON encoded and made available on the server in the data parameter.
+#
+# This is how the server component would look:
+#
+# class AppearanceChannel < ApplicationCable::Channel
+# def subscribed
+# current_user.appear
+# end
+#
+# def unsubscribed
+# current_user.disappear
+# end
+#
+# def appear(data)
+# current_user.appear on: data['appearing_on']
+# end
+#
+# def away
+# current_user.away
+# end
+# end
+#
+# The "AppearanceChannel" name is automatically mapped between the client-side subscription creation and the server-side Ruby class name.
+# The AppearanceChannel#appear/away public methods are exposed automatically to client-side invocation through the @perform method.
