How to handle disconnect or an error

[johneakin]

What is the best way to reconnect after a disconnect or some error?

I tried the following but doesn't appear to be working.
void onEventsCallback(WebsocketsEvent event, String data) {
if(event == WebsocketsEvent::ConnectionClosed) {
client.connect("wss://ws-feed.pro.coinbase.com");
client.send("{"type": "subscribe","product_ids": ["BTC-USD"],"channels": ["ticker"]}");
}

Instead is there any way to check if the connection is active in the loop() and reconnect from there?

Hi, the best way to check if a client is connected is by using:

if (client.available()) {
   // Connected...
}

The best way to reconnect is to reset the object (by assinging a new instance) and setting up the callbacks again. So for example:

if (client.available()) {
   // Connected, do something...
} else {
    client = WebsocketsClient();
    client.onMessage(...);
    client.onEvent(...);
    client.connect(...);
}

this is what i was looking for ....... however it is an excellent library, a great job.
thank you
