Socket connection disconnects automatically

Question

I am implementing the socket connection for video calling and chat. I am using react-native for client and I use socket.io-client v.2.1.0 and socket.io v.2.1.1 on node server. The socket connection gets established successfully when I open the application but when I lock the phone or the phone sleeps then the socket connection gets disconnected automatically after some time.

Please help me out!

Answer 1

Take a look at the pingTimeout argument in the socketio docs here. Set it to a really high number so the socket doesn't timeout.
