is-internet-available

Checks if internet is available using http2, node v8.4.0+ only

description

By default this package relies on www.google.com being available and certificate stores not be broken because it uses http2 connection for the test.

You can use any other URL for the test

Please check changelogs after each release

It has two exports:

function isInternetAvailable ({ authority?: 'https://www.google.com', options?: undefined })

• returns a Promise that resolves to true or false

class InternetAvailabilityService (rate?: 10 * 1000, authority?: 'https://www.google.com', options?: undefined )

• emits 'status' (true|false) - (only when it changes)
• emits 'checking' - when starting to run the check

usage

First add package to project:

npm install is-internet-available
# or 
yarn add is-internet-available

Then use it:

const { isInternetAvailable, InternetAvailabilityService } = require('is-internet-available');
 
isInternetAvailable().then(console.log);
// or
const service = new InternetAvailabilityService();
service.on('status', (status) => {
  if (status) {
    console.log('internet is now connected');
  } else {
    console.log('internet is now disconnected');
  }
});

You can also use against a custom Authority:

const { isInternetAvailable, InternetAvailabilityService } = require('is-internet-available');
 
isInternetAvailable({ authority: 'http://localhost' }).then(console.log);
// or
const service = new InternetAvailabilityService({
  authority: 'http://localhost',
  rate: 1000, // the wait time between checks
  // options: {
    // options that you may want to pass to http2.connect method
  //}
});
 
service.on('status', (status) => {
  if (status) {
    console.log('localhost is now available');
  } else {
    console.log('localhost is now unavailable');
  }
});
