Is there a way to terminate and restart a new web socket connection onchange of props?

I've been able to establish connection to a websocket using a url being passed as props from the App.js to the Child component. On change of the value of the props, I want the already established websocket connection terminated and a new connection made with the new props value being passed.

The child component initiates the connection the moment it is mounted.

export class Stream extends Component {
  state = {
ws: null
//url: this.props.value
  };

  componentDidMount() {
this.connect();
  }

  componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
if (this.props.value !== prevProps.value) {
  this.disconnect(prevProps);
  //this.connect(this.props.value);
}
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
//socket.close();

}

  connect = () => {
var socket = new WebSocket("wss://ws.dummy.net/");
let that = this; // cache the this
var subscribeMsg = {
  event: "subscribe",
  data: {
    channel: "order" + this.props.value
  }
};

function serializeData(data) {
  //console.log(data);
  that.setState({
    ws: data //Map the serialized data to the state
  });
}

// websocket onopen event listener
socket.onopen = () => {
  socket.send(JSON.stringify(subscribeMsg));
  console.log("connected websocket main component");
};

socket.onmessage = function(evt) {
  var response = JSON.parse(evt.data);
  console.log(response);
  /**
   * This switch statement handles message logic. It processes data in case of data event
   * and it reconnects if the server requires.
   */
  switch (response.event) {
    case "data": {
      serializeData(response.data);
      break;
    }
    default: {
      //console.log("Error in case assignment");
      break;
    }
  }
};
// websocket onclose event listener
socket.onclose = e => {
  console.log("Socket is closed");
};

// websocket onerror event listener
socket.onerror = err => {
  console.error(
    "Socket encountered error: ",
    err.message,
    "Closing socket"
  );
};
  };

  disconnect = prevProps => {
var socket = new WebSocket("wss://ws.dummy.net/");
var unsubscribeMsg = {
  event: "unsubscribe",
  data: {
    channel: "order" + prevProps.value
  }
    };

socket.close();
socket.onclose = e => {
  socket.send(JSON.stringify(unsubscribeMsg));
  console.log("DISCONNECT Socket is closed");
};
  };
}
