SettingDescriptionDefault Value
urlThe URL of the Hocuspocus/WebSocket server.''
WebSocketPolyfillRunning in Node.js: Pass a WebSocket polyfill, for example ws.WebSocket
timeoutA timeout in milliseconds. If timeout is non-zero then a timer is set using setTimeout. If the timeout is triggered then future attempts will be aborted.0
factorThe factor option is used to grow the delay exponentially.2
maxAttemptsThe maximum number of attempts or 0 if there is no limit on number of attempts.0
minDelayminDelay is used to set a lower bound of delay when jitter is enabled. This property has no effect if jitter is disabled.1000
maxDelayThe maxDelay option is used to set an upper bound for the delay when factor is enabled. A value of 0 can be provided if there should be no upper bound when calculating delay.30000
jitterIf jitter is true then the calculated delay will be a random integer value between minDelay and the calculated delay for the current iteration.true
messageReconnectTimeoutCloses the connection when after the configured messageReconnectTimeout no message was received.30000
delayThe delay between each attempt in milliseconds. You can provide a factor to have the delay grow exponentially.1000
initialDelayThe initialDelay is the amount of time to wait before making the first attempt. This option should typically be 0 since you typically want the first attempt to happen immediately.0
