ReconnectingWebSocket is a small JavaScript library that wraps the standard WebSocket API with automatic reconnection behavior. It is designed as a drop-in replacement, so developers can switch from WebSocket to ReconnectingWebSocket with minimal code changes. When a connection closes, the library automatically attempts to reconnect instead of leaving the socket dead. It keeps trying until the connection succeeds or until a configured attempt limit is reached. The library includes options for debug logging, automatic opening, reconnect intervals, maximum reconnect delay, reconnect decay, timeouts, and maximum attempts. Overall, it is useful for real-time web apps that need more resilient WebSocket connections.

  • Automatic reconnection after connection loss
