The NPM name "reconnecting-websocket" is taken by https://github.com/pladaria/reconnecting-websocket. Could this be a reason for joewalnes loosing interest? Anyway, the other repo (pladaria) seems to be as fine as this one but more alive.
There are some alternatives such as:
If anyone is interested in maintaining this in the long run, please let me know.
Out of the three libraries mentioned, only https://github.com/pladaria/reconnecting-websocket mentioned by msageryd seems to be actively maintained.
@Parziphal: both libraries have commits dating from less than 4 months ago, but they're also browser-specific. @pladaria's library is "Multiplatform (Web, ServiceWorkers, Node.js, React Native)" but the last commit is from Oct 2017 and are three outstanding PRs.
@joewalnes: looks like @pladaria is already maintaining this module, and since he has the npm package name, it would be really great to merge this deprecation notice PR into this repo, because a lot of links out there point to the repo (e.g. the accepted answer on StackOverflow for NodeJS Websocket how to reconnect when server restarts).
I'm looking for a websocket library just like this and at first glance it looked popular, issues are being ignored and there haven't been and pushes in almost a year.
Should I look elsewhere if I have no interest in "fixing it myself" if something goes wrong under the hood?
Thanks!
