node-reconnect v0.2.3

reconnect

node.js module that keep connection to other services alive. This is something that keeps your service (for example kafka-node) alive when it doesn't recover by itself (example issue #209.

Done when working on Tapdaq.

Usage

  instance = new Reconnect({
    repeatDelay: 1 // delay in ms
  });
  instance.handleConnect((readyCallback, errorCallback) => {
    const service = new dummyService();
    service.on('ready', () => {
      // service.on('data', ....)


      // when your connection is ready
      readyCallback();
    });

    service.on('error', errorCallback);

    return service;
  });

Development

Run tests with mocha (that re-run on file change). And change whatever you want

npm run test

Todo

• Add better documentation
• Add reconnect count
