As a user I would like to see a warning dialogue when my connection to Bethel has been interrupted.

[Ignigena]

Details

Currently users don't know whether they are connected or not. If their network disconnects and they click around, parts of the site might load without issue and others will just disappear entirely. This can be frustrating even though it's not on our end.

Requirements

• Sails Socket should detect the interruption. We should use this existing structure and make this more visible to the end user.
• A toast should be fine for now, although we should consider whether it's worth disabling access entirely until the connection is resumed.

How to Demo

1. Log into the platform locally with the server running
2. Disconnect the server
3. Verify that connection interrupted visual is shown

Development Tasks

• look into what's available to us through Sails socket library
• determine visual approach
• implement dialogue
