How can I handle disconnections in WebSockets?

To handle disconnections in WebSockets, you can implement a reconnection strategy and listen for the 'close' event.

What kind of reconnection strategy should I use?

A common strategy is to use exponential backoff, where you wait longer between each reconnection attempt.

Is there a way to detect if the connection is lost?

Yes, you can use a heartbeat mechanism by sending periodic ping messages to check if the connection is still alive.

What libraries can help with WebSocket connections?

Libraries like Socket.IO and ws for Node.js provide built-in support for handling disconnections and reconnections.
