Connection Manager

Maintaining connection state is a royal pain in the behind. This utility class takes a connect() method and:

• Only call it to create a connection when needed
• Automatically retry on failure
• Automatically reconnect if the previous connection was closed
• Properly handle shutdown sequence

Usage

const conMgr = new ConnectionManager({
  async connect() {
    //...
    return connection
  },
  retryDelay: 10*1000
})

//wherever you need the connection
const connection = await conMgr.get()

//shutdown
conMgr.shutdown()
