How to make automatic reconnection to websocket server?

Question

JavaScript

From time to time, the websocket server drops the connection. How to make automatic reconnection to the server at each disconnect in this code? What should be added to function close()?

const WebSocket = require('ws');

const ws = new WebSocket('ws://serveradress.com', {
});

ws.on('open', function open() {
  console.log('connected');
  ws.send('sendmessage');
});

ws.on('close', function close() {
  console.log('disconnected');
});

ws.on('message', function incoming(data) {
  console.log(data);
});

Answer 1

Wrap all code in a separate connect function and call it from ws.on('close', connect)
