Handling server going down?

[Brendan]

hi all,

I want to show some UI while we're not currently able to hit the
server.

Is there a client-side notification for when the server goes down (or
when the connection to it is lost)?

If I kill the server, I see client-side calls failing, and I can
protect against those errors by checking for function existence
first. I also see the now.ready() callback when the server comes
back. But is there some kind of counterpart notification I can listen
for, in my client, so that I can tell the user as soon as they have
lost their connection?

thanks

P.S. Navigating through the docs part of nowjs.org, I've no idea how
you get to http://nowjs.com/doc/now. I only found it via google.

Hello.
You can use socket.io 'on' event to catch when user disconnected from
server.
now.core.on('disconnect', function() {
console.log('Disconnected from server');
});
For example this event will fire when you kill node process.
