Check if the internet connection is up

Works in Node.js and the browser (with a bundler).

In the browser, there is already navigator.onLine, but it's useless as it only tells you if there's a local connection, and not whether the internet is accessible.

npm install is-online

import isOnline from 'is-online';

console.log(await isOnline());
//=> true

Type: object

Type: number
Default: 5000

Milliseconds to wait for a server to respond.

Type: number
Values: 4 | 6
Default: 4

The Internet Protocol version to use.

This is an advanced option that is usually not necessary to be set, but it can prove useful to specifically assert IPv6 connectivity.

The following checks are run in parallel:

• Retrieve icanhazip.com (or ipify.org as fallback) via HTTPS.
• Query myip.opendns.com and o-o.myaddr.l.google.com DNS entries. (Node.js only)
• Retrieve Apple's Captive Portal test page (this is what iOS does). (Node.js only)

When any check succeeds, the returned Promise is resolved to true.

To make it work through proxies, you need to set up global-agent.
