Readme
Check if servers are reachable
Works in Node.js and the browser (with a bundler).
The Node.js version will do a TCP handshake with the target's port. It attempts to detect cases where a router redirects the request to itself.
The browser version is limited by the fact that browsers cannot connect to arbitrary ports. It only supports HTTP and HTTPS and the check relies on the /favicon.ico path being present.
$ npm install is-reachable
const isReachable = require('is-reachable');
(async () => {
console.log(await isReachable('sindresorhus.com'));
//=> true
console.log(await isReachable('google.com:80'));
//=> true
})();
Returns a Promise<boolean> which is true if any of the targets are reachable.
Type: string | string[]
One or more targets to check. Can either be a full URL like https://hostname, hostname:port or just hostname. When the protocol is missing from a target http is assumed.
