How can I implement WebSockets in my Angular application?

You can use the WebSocket API in Angular by creating a service that manages the WebSocket connection.

What are the benefits of using WebSockets over HTTP?

WebSockets provide full-duplex communication, lower latency, and reduced overhead compared to traditional HTTP.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class WebSocketService {
  private socket: WebSocket;

  constructor() {
    this.socket = new WebSocket('ws://your-websocket-url');
  }

  sendMessage(message: string) {
    this.socket.send(message);
  }

  onMessage(callback: (data: any) => void) {
    this.socket.onmessage = (event) => callback(event.data);
  }
}

How do I handle reconnections?

You can listen for the onclose event and attempt to reconnect after a delay.
