AngularJS: Reconnect WebSocket Inside A Service

Im using web sockets in my AngularJS application. When a user logs out the web socket connection is closed by the client. I need to reconnect the web socket when the user logs bac

Solution 1:

I found the solution myself. It was actually pretty simple:

angular.module('myApp').factory("SubscriptionFactory", function () {
    var Service = {};
    var ws;

    Service.onMessage = function(message) { /* some code */};
    Service.onClose = function() { /* some code */ };
    Service.onOpen = function() { /* some code */};
    Service.onError = function(error) { /* some code */};

    Service.connect = function() {
        // (Re)connect
        ws = new WebSocket("ws://127.0.0.1:8000");
        // Reattaching handlers to object
        ws.onmessage = Service.onMessage;
        ws.onclose = Service.onClose;
        ws.onopen = Service.onOpen;
        ws.onerror = Service.onError;
    }
    return Service;

What happens here is simple: Im creating a new Web Socket object and manually attaching the Web Sockets handlers to my AngularJS service.
