Its not documented anywhere, but you can pass retryCount and retryDelay when creating a new Client. It will automatically reconnect if the connection is dropped.

var irc = require('irc');

new irc.Client('irc.example.org', 'someone', {
    // milliseconds to wait between retries
    retryDelay: 1000,

    // max attempts
    retryCount: 2
}
