Best practice for reconnecting after retryAttempts has been passed?

[morajabi]

In our case, the computer is sleep for 8 hours, and then starts up, now I need to reconnect the socket. What do you recommend?

What I have in mind is: recreate using createWsClient and therefore creating a new urql client (I use urql) using the new Graphql WS client. But this seems to be inefficient.

Check out the client usage with custom retry timeout strategy recipe. You can time your retries exactly to your needs by controlling the retryWait promise resolution.

After the retryAttempts have passed, the client will report an error.

That makes sense. But if I understand correctly I'll have to pick large retryAttempts just to be safe in this case, do you think that's ok? As I don't want to ever be disconnected from the server no matter how long the app is open.

Update:
Added this:

export async function waitForOnline(): Promise<void> {
  return new Promise(resolve => {
    function now() {
      window.removeEventListener('online', now)
      resolve()
    }
    window.addEventListener('online', now)
  })
}

and

 retryWait: async function randomisedExponentialBackoff(retries: number) {
      if (!navigator.onLine && retries > 5) {
        await waitForOnline()
      }
      // ...

You can just do retryAttempts: Infinity to never ever stop retrying.
