no-internet

Checking if the internet is accessible in the browser (not local connection only)

window.navigator.onLine is the simplest approach to return the online status of the browser. It is not guaranteed to be accurate. Most implementations of the API watch for changes in the local network interface to determine if your application is online or not. But what if your network interface is up, but your router is down ☝️. window.navigator.onLine will return true and it means that you are online and that is WRONG. To handle that case we make XMLHttpRequest and listen to change in the network state by events window.ononline and window.onoffline to be notified immediately 😎

Getting no-internet

npm

npm install --save no-internet

yarn

yarn add no-internet --save

Examples

import noInternet from 'no-internet'

One check

noInternet().then(offline => {
    if (offline) {
        // no internet  
    }
})

Interval checking

function noInternetCallback(offline) {
    if (offline) {
        // no internet  
    }
}

// connection is checked and callback is called each 5000 milliseconds
noInternet({ callback: noInternetCallback })

// clear interval
noInternet.clearInterval()

With options

noInternet({
    milliseconds: 10000,
    timeout: 4000,
    callback: noInternetCallback,
    url: 'https://github.com/favicon.ico',
    headers: { 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*' }
})
