Amplify-js: PubSub connection lifecycle handling

[nayan27]

Hi there,
I am using Amplify PubSub with AWS IoT.
I have trouble understanding how Amplify with IoT lifecycle works.
I would like to be able to easily retrieve the connection status of the IoT provider.
To me it seems like the connection is established automatically at a certain point after the call to addPlugable(new AWSIoTProvider({...})).
Can i request the connection by myself ? Can i intercept error message from the connection attempt ?
Can i provide a callback to acknoledge the different connection status (Connecting, Connected, ConnectionLost) ?
How can i know if the connection was lost ?
Thank you,

This would be a great improvement. At minimum, Paho already supports onConnectionLost, so it should be minimal effort. My client suffers from disconnects from time to time and knowing how to automatically handle that would be great UX improvement.

Any update on this topic ? We really need an interface to handle connection status! Thank you!

This has been open for more than 6 months now and from what i understand the fix seems fairly quick to make. When can we expect to have some news for this ?
