The client side close event for WebSocket has a wasClean property, which was useful to me. Seems like it is set to true in cases where the client computer goes into sleep mode etc. or when the server is unexpectedly stopped etc. It is set to false if you manually close the socket, in which case you don't want to open the socket automatically again. Below code from an Angular 7 project. I have this code in a service, so it is usable from any component.

    notifySocketClose(event) { 

        if (!event.wasClean) { 
            setTimeout(() => {
                this.setupSocket()
            }, 1000);       
        }
    }

    setupSocket() { // my function to handle opening of socket, event binding etc.
    .....
    .....

            this.websocketConnection = this.websocketConnection ? this.websocketConnection : new WebSocket(socketUrl);
            this.websocketConnection.onclose = this.notifySocketClose.bind(this);   
        } 
    }
