useNetworkState

Tracks the state of browser's network connection.

As of the standard it is not guaranteed that browser connected to the Internet, it only guarantees the network connection.

Usage

import {useNetworkState} from 'react-use';

const Demo = () => {
  const state = useNetworkState();

  return (
    <pre>
      {JSON.stringify(state, null, 2)}
    </pre>
  );
};
