Research direction

Start by reviewing the websocket.From and websocket.NetConn entry points shown in the issue, along with the library's WebSocket and JavaScript interop documentation. Determine whether an existing JavaScript WebSocket can be supported and define the expected behavior and tests before implementation; done means the capability is documented and verified with a working example or test.

Description

Hello, I am wondering, with this library, is it possible to use an existing WebSocket that was created in JS land, something like


exportConnect := js.FuncOf(func(this js.Value, args []js.Value) any {
    // ...
    
    socket := args[0]
    conn, _, err := websocket.From(ctx, socket)
    netconn := websocket.NetConn(ctx, conn, websocket.MessageBinary)

    // ...
})
js.Global().Set("go__connect", exportConnect)
