API Explained

In your app, you can add:

import { useNavigatorOnline } from '@oieduardorabelo/use-navigator-online';

function App() {
  let details = useNavigatorOnline(options)
  ...
}

details object is composed of:

• details.isOnline: It is a Boolean value, true when online
• details.isOffline: It is a Boolean value, true when offline
• details.status: Returns a default String, when online it is "online" and when offline it is "offline". You can customize it using options param

options object is composed of:

• options.whenOnline: Can be any valid React children. It will replace the String returned in details.status when online.
• options.whenOffline: Can be any valid React children. It will replace the String returned in details.status when offline.
• options.startOnline: To support SSR, you can control the initial rendering mode using this option. It is a boolean value to determine which state your application should use first: true for "online-first" or false for "offline-first". Defaults to true/online-first. The value will be synced with window.navigator.onLine inside an useEffect when your application is rendered in the browser.

Examples

Using isOnline and isOffline flags:

import { useNavigatorOnline } from '@oieduardorabelo/use-navigator-online';

function App() {
  let { isOnline, isOffline } = useNavigatorOnline();

  return (
    <div>
      {isOnline && <span>We are online!</span>}
      {isOffline && <span>We are offline!</span>}
    </div>
  );
}

Using default status:

import { useNavigatorOnline } from '@oieduardorabelo/use-navigator-online';

function App() {
  // will toggle between "online" and "offline"
  let { status } = useNavigatorOnline();

  return <div>Browser now is {status}!</div>;
}

Custom values for status with whenOnline and whenOffline:

import { useNavigatorOnline } from '@oieduardorabelo/use-navigator-online';

function App() {
  // you can pass any React children in "whenOnline" and "whenOffline"
  let { status } = useNavigatorOnline({
    whenOnline: <h1>WE ARE ONLINE!</h1>,
    whenOffline: <h4>Damn, offline :(</h4>,
  });

  return <div>{status}</div>;
}

No extra configuration is needed to use it on SSR:

import { useNavigatorOnline } from '@oieduardorabelo/use-navigator-online';

function App() {
  let { status } = useNavigatorOnline();

  return <div>{status}</div>;
}

You can initialize your application offline-first. This will sync with window.navigator.onLine when your application starts, using a useEffect. Trigerring a re-render of your application.

import { useNavigatorOnline } from '@oieduardorabelo/use-navigator-online';

function App() {
  let { status } = useNavigatorOnline({
    startOnline: false
  });

  return <div>{status}</div>;
}
