Reconnect a websocket stream when it goes down.
var reconnect = require('reconnect-ws');
// this is the server
var WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server;
var wss = new WebSocketServer({port: 8080});
wss.on('connection', function(ws) {
ws.send('Hello, client!');
});
// this is the client
reconnect(function (stream) {
stream.on('data', console.log);
// => yup, I'm up!
}).connect(8080)See example.js for detailed usage.
For the events you can listen to, see reconnect-core.
