How can I manually trigger reconnection?

[VladimirMikulic]

Is there a function like socket.reconnect() to manually trigger reconnection?

Hi!

On the client side:

socket.disconnect().connect(); // disconnection then reconnection
// or
socket.io.engine.close(); // simulate a low-level disconnection

On the server side:

io.on("connection", (socket) => {
  // socket.disconnect() would tell the client to skip reconnection
  socket.conn.close();
});
