I've just started angular 2. I've done an angular2 sample as given in the https://angular.io/guide/quickstart
when I run the project in Firefox using
npm start
command in terminal, the connection get disconnected after output showing once.Error showing like
The connection to ws://localhost:3000/browser-sync/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=websocket&sid=6YFGHWy7oD7T7qioAAAA was interrupted while the page was loading
Any idea about how to fix this issue ?
I don't know how you manage your web socket but you could consider using the following code. This idea is to wrap the web socket into an observable.
For this you could use a service like below. The initializeWebSocket will create a shared observable (hot) to wrap a WebSocket object.
export class WebSocketService {
initializeWebSocket(url) {
this.wsObservable = Observable.create((observer) => {
this.ws = new WebSocket(url);
this.ws.onopen = (e) => {
(...)
};
this.ws.onclose = (e) => {
if (e.wasClean) {
observer.complete();
} else {
observer.error(e);
}
};
this.ws.onerror = (e) => {
observer.error(e);
}
this.ws.onmessage = (e) => {
observer.next(JSON.parse(e.data));
}
return () => {
this.ws.close();
};
}).share();
}
}
You could add a sendData to send data on the web socket:
export class WebSocketService {
(...)
sendData(message) {
this.ws.send(JSON.stringify(message));
}
}
The last point is to make things a bit robust, i.e. filter received messages based on a criteria and implement retry when there is a disconnection. For this, you need to wrap our initial websocket observable into another one. This way we can support retries when the connection is lost and integrate filtering on criteria like the client identifier (in the sample the received data is JSON and contains a sender attribute).
export class WebSocketService {
(...)
createClientObservable(clientId) {
return Observable.create((observer) => {
let subscription = this.wsObservable
.filter((data) => data.sender!==clientId)
.subscribe(observer);
return () => {
subscription.unsubscribe();
};
}).retryWhen((errors) => {
return Observable.timer(3000);
});
}
}
You can see that deconnections are handled in this code using the retryWhen operator of observable.
