Change reconnection after initial connection

[markg85]

Hi,

I have a list of URL's i want to try and make a connection too.
I'm iterating a list of url's (via promises) and use the first promise that resolves as the connection i want to have.
For that, i set the reconnection flag initially to false so that socket.io only tries a connection once.

Once i have a working connection to one of the URL's i want to flip the reconnection flag to true.
How do i do that?
I'm fine if it's a super hacky solution.

Cheers,
Mark

You can simply update the reconnection attribute of the Manager:

socket.io.reconnection(true);

That easy. And works exactly as intended. Awesome, thank you for the tip!
