If no on-close event is triggered and this can happen due to situations like network failures etc. Do you handle these scenario's for reconnecting?

That should be handled by the underlying WebSocket.

Normally, in the application layer, a ping mechanism should be implemented (like in the xmpp protocol) if a ping timeouts, you can call reconnect method to restart the connection.
