How can I implement reconnection in Socket.IO with Angular?

To implement reconnection in Socket.IO with Angular, you can use the built-in reconnection feature of Socket.IO. Make sure to set the reconnection option to true when initializing your socket connection.

What if I want to customize the reconnection attempts?

You can customize the reconnection attempts by setting options like reconnectionAttempts and reconnectionDelay when you create the socket instance. For example, const socket = io({ reconnectionAttempts: 5, reconnectionDelay: 1000 });.

How do I handle events when the connection is re-established?

You can listen for the 'reconnect' event on the socket instance. For example, socket.on('reconnect', (attemptNumber) => { console.log('Reconnected on attempt:', attemptNumber); });.

Is there a way to notify users when the connection is lost?

Yes, you can listen for the 'disconnect' event and notify users accordingly. For instance, socket.on('disconnect', () => { alert('Connection lost. Trying to reconnect...'); });.
