Hello,
firstly I would like to thank you for this awesome library! it truly saved my life.

My question is simple:
After I successfully connect to WiFi AP - I want to periodically check if the connection is OK, if it's not - then simply restart the ESP32.

With normal WiFi.h library you could do that with this code:

unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
// if WiFi is down, try reconnecting
if ((WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) && (currentMillis - previousMillis >=interval)) {
  Serial.print(millis());
  Serial.println("Reconnecting to WiFi...");
  WiFi.disconnect();
  WiFi.reconnect();

  //ESP.restart(); //Or completly restart the ESP32
  previousMillis = currentMillis;
}

Is there any equivalent in WifiManager library?

What am I using:

ESP32
Newest version of WifiManager v0.16
