Internet Connectivity Checker using JavaScript

#html #css #webdev #javascript

Hello Guys! Welcome to Welcome to Coding Torque In this blog, I'm going to explain to you how to make an internet connectivity checker using javascript. This will be a step-by-step guide including HTML and CSS. Let's get started 🚀.

Let's cover HTML Part

We use HTML to make the skeleton of a website. HTML is a markup language.

Now let's import the fonts using Google Fonts API. Below is the code for Poppins Font. Paste the below code in <head> tag.

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Now let's design the container in our <body> tag. In the below HTML code, we have created a container that contains a div for status (message). Next, we have the button with the onclick listener attribute, to check connectivity status by clicking on the button.

<div class="container">
    <div class="status" id="status">
        Click button to check status
    </div>
    <button onclick="checkConnectivityStatus()">Check Status</button>
</div>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Here is the final HTML code 

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <!-- Required meta tags -->
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <!-- Google Fonts  -->
    <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
    <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">

    <title>Internet Connectivity Detector using JavaScript - @code.scientist x @codingtorque</title>
</head>

<body>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="status" id="status">

        </div>
        <button onclick="checkConnectivityStatus()">Check Status</button>
    </div>

</body>

</html>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

You don't need to click on the button. There is an even that change state when you get offline and get back online.
