Connecting to Twitch API with NodeJS and socket io

API
11

Hey,
because your point about the missing events while reconneting makes sense, I put in PING and PONG now. The new code looks now like this:

Summary 
const WebSocket = require('ws');

function connect() {
    const twitch = new WebSocket('wss://pubsub-edge.twitch.tv');
    
    twitch.on('open', () => {
        console.log('Connected with Twitch.');

        twitch.ping(JSON.stringify({type: "PING"}), true, function() {console.log('Send PING.')});
        
        setInterval(function() {
            setTimeout(function() {
                twitch.ping(JSON.stringify({type: "PING"}), true, function() {console.log('Send PING.')});
        }, Math.floor((Math.random() * 1000) + 1));
        }, 50000)

        var noPongRestart = setTimeout(function() {
            console.log('Got no PONG.');
            twitch.close();
        }, 10000);

        twitch.on('pong', () => {
            console.log('Got PONG.');
            clearTimeout(noPongRestart);
        })
    });

    twitch.on('close', () => {
        console.log('Disconnected from Twitch.');
        connect();
    });
};

connect();

The weird thing is: After 60 seconds I still get disconnected. But a PING gets send every 50 seconds. My guess is, that even tho the console tells me I am sending PINGs and getting PONGs, I am actually not really sending a PING. But I seem to have written it right, when I look into the dev doc für a PING. But in case I also tried:

twitch.ping(console.log('Send PING.'));

Same problem.

twitch.ping();
twitch.on('ping', () => {console.log('Send PING.')});

Again, same problem. Also the console doesn’t say Send PING, but a Got PONG. Makes it even weirder.

What did I do wrong?
