How can I implement WebSocket reconnection in a React app?

You can implement WebSocket reconnection by listening for the 'close' event and attempting to reconnect after a delay.

What should I do to avoid multiple reconnection attempts?

You can use a flag to check if a reconnection attempt is already in progress and prevent additional attempts.

Is there a way to limit the number of reconnection attempts?

Yes, you can set a maximum number of attempts and stop trying after reaching that limit.

Can you provide a code example for this?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

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

  socket.onclose = () => {
    setTimeout(connectWebSocket, 1000); // Reconnect after 1 second
  };
};

connectWebSocket();
