Why does SailsService look for io connection and immediately close it

[mryarbles]

When you include sails.io.js on page it automatically creates connection. Then when you import angular2-sails it immediately disconnects that previous connection. Why? What is the best way to instantiate the two?

if (io && io.sails) {
    if (io && io.socket && io.socket.isConnected) {
        io.socket.disconnect();
    }
}

its because of the connection options you may pass in the initiation.
passing options: angular2-sails working with it

think of using different or changing connections than the local url of your sails app or creating a ios/android app. best way is to disable autoconnect in sails.io.js by passing this parameter or changing it in the template:
io.sails.autoConnect = false;
