How can I handle errors in a React WebSocket library?

You can handle errors in a React WebSocket library by using the onerror event handler. This allows you to catch and manage errors effectively.

Can you show me an example of how to implement that?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

const socket = new WebSocket('ws://your-websocket-url');

socket.onerror = (error) => {
  console.error('WebSocket Error:', error);
  // Handle the error accordingly
};

What about reconnecting after an error?

You can implement a reconnection strategy by using a setTimeout to attempt to reconnect after a certain delay when an error occurs.

That makes sense! Any tips for managing state during reconnections?

Yes! You can use React's useState to manage connection status and update your UI accordingly. For example, set a loading state while reconnecting.
