how to tell when client is connected if RetryOnFailedConnect=true

[cbrake]

I'm using the client with RetryOnFailedConnect=true. The nats.Connect() always returns true in this case.
Is there any way to tell if the initial connection succeeded. There is SetReconnectHandler() which tells me if a reconnect worked, but I would also like to know if the initial connection succeeded so that I know if I can start sending messages.

I could wait a bit and assume if I don't get any CustomReconnectDelay() calls, then I'm probably connected.

Likely missing something here, so appreciate any ideas. Thanks!

nc.Status() I think..

Thanks, that works!

It may make sense at some point to consider adding a ConnectHandler (similar to Reconnect, Disconnect, and Closed handlers).

I am not positive but I think the reconnect handler might already fire in those instances when the first attempt failed.

Yes, the reconnect handler does fire if the first attempt failed. However, if the first attempt succeeded, I have no way of knowing this other than delaying, and polling nc.Status(). Not a huge deal, but a connected handler would complete the API.

Fair point! Maybe create issue on Go client if possible. Thanks.
