Should we generally discuss connection managment (maybe at some other place)? I tend to use App State to disconnect when the app is sent to background, and reconnect when the app is reopened. This saves a lot of server resources, since otherwise the sockets remain open at least for a while. However, I have some reconnection issues, don't know if this interferes with NetInfo.
How does the connection state get managed if no NetInfo is present?
Yes let's open a discussion in regards to a 3.0. this PR is only a fix for the linked issue so @derwaldgeist can continue development.
When netinfo is disabled there is all manually to manage right now, including disconnect and reconnect.
I also agree with Appstate as without it we have many glitches when opening the app after a certain time
Released 2.8.0-rc.0 for testing
Summary
This makes NetInfo a true optional dependency.
If Meteor.connect options contain
NetInfo: null
it will not be imported and not used. Users need to manually connect/reconnect.If the options is a custom NetInfo (injected) then this will be used.
Otherwise the default NetInfo is loaded.
This allows also to configure netinfo in a much more custom basis than previously.
