The kind of change this PR does introduce
Current behaviour
If a client app is trying to reconnect, it leaves a
refd timer on the event loop which will prevent the program from exiting.New behaviour
With this change, if a user passes
autoUnref: truethe reconnect timer getsunrefd each time it is created so that if it would have been the only thing preventing the event loop from exiting, the program exits.Other information (e.g. related issues)
This coordinates well with (but is in a sense independent of) this PR on engine.io-client:
socketio/engine.io-client#652
Please note the
refandunrefAPI mentioned there which is available on other Node internals such as timers, sockets, and servers.
