Handle reconnect to websocket if connection lost? #317

Closed thelinuxdude closed 4 years ago

thelinuxdude commented 4 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When a connection between the client websocket and the server are lost, say due to the networking going down. From the UI side, I could not tell it was down until I made a call to an eel functions that was being exposed. This fails with an "WebSocket is already in CLOSING or CLOSED state"

Describe the solution you'd like I would like away to re-connect on a failure or indicate back to the UI that there was a failure. I rather have it reconnect first before reporting any problems.

Describe alternatives you've considered Not sure the best place to change in the eel.js to catch the issue and recover.

I suspect this is a duplicate of https://github.com/samuelhwilliams/Eel/issues/309 (even if not I'd probably look at them together). I will close this in lieu of #309.
