How to check net Info in React Native iOS?
There is currently an open issue about this in react native's github.
You can see the discussion there, but in short - the fetch
is always returning false
, but you can work around it by listening to the connection changed event.
Code example from there:
componentDidMount() {
NetInfo.isConnected.addEventListener('change', this.handleConnectionChange);
NetInfo.isConnected.fetch().done(
(isConnected) => { this.setState({ status: isConnected }); }
);
}
componentWillUnmount() {
NetInfo.isConnected.removeEventListener('change', this.handleConnectionChange);
}
handleConnectionChange = (isConnected) => {
this.setState({ status: isConnected });
console.log(`is connected: ${this.state.status}`);
}
Edit:
Seems like this issue has been worked on.
Also, change
event was renamed to connectionChange
. Updated workaround code:
componentDidMount() {
NetInfo.isConnected.addEventListener('connectionChange', this.handleConnectionChange);
NetInfo.isConnected.fetch().done(
(isConnected) => { this.setState({ status: isConnected }); }
);
}
componentWillUnmount() {
NetInfo.isConnected.removeEventListener('connectionChange', this.handleConnectionChange);
}
handleConnectionChange = (isConnected) => {
this.setState({ status: isConnected });
console.log(`is connected: ${this.state.status}`);
}
Updated:
The change
event type is deprecated. Consider using the connectionChange
event type.
