how to check socket.io connection status using swift API

Question

I am using socket.io with my swift iOS app. Occasionally my socket connection is dropped.

How can I check the status of the connection so that I may re-connect if it is not connected? I couldn't find any commands for checking the status of the connection in the client API documents.

I'm using iOS 11 with swift 4.

Swift 4:

    let socketConnectionStatus = socket.status

    switch socketConnectionStatus {
    case SocketIOStatus.connected:
        print("socket connected")
    case SocketIOStatus.connecting:
        print("socket connecting")
    case SocketIOStatus.disconnected:
        print("socket disconnected")
    case SocketIOStatus.notConnected:
        print("socket not connected")
    }
