Connection fail event

I might be missing something, but there seems to not be a way to cleanly tell if the connection attempt has failed?

An event or callback either one would work fine.

Disconnect would also be useful

need some way to check the connection status

@geekgonecrazy I found the socket_close event. It's called on the ddp client itself. You can make use of it this way:

var connection = new Asteroid('localhost:3000')
connection.ddp.on('socket_close', function() {
  console.log('connection closed, or could not be established');
})

@webdeb oh sweet! That's an ok work around at least :+1: Thanks!

So there are probably other events we could grab this way too.

is this consider done? I thought to explore more on Meteor.status()
