How to Check if a User’s Device is Connected to the Internet

In this video, I will show you how to check if a user’s device is connected to the internet using JavaScript. There are two properties on the navigator object that can be used to determine this:

onLine: This property is a boolean that indicates whether or not the user is connected to the internet. If the user is connected to the internet, it returns true; otherwise, it returns false.

offline: This property returns true if the user is not connected to the internet.

However, the offline property is not a reliable way to check if the user is really connected to the internet. A more reliable way is to attach an event listener function to the window object and listen for an online event. The callback function attached to this event listener will be fired each time the user connects to the internet.

You can also listen for an offline event and attach a callback function that will be called each time the user disconnects from the internet.
