Pinger Internet Status Package

The "Pinger Internet Status Package" enables Flutter applications to monitor internet connectivity by periodically pinging specified URLs. This package includes a PingerInternetStatus class to manage connectivity checks and a PingerStatusListener widget to respond to connectivity changes.

Features

• Internet Connectivity Monitoring: Regularly ping specific URLs to determine the internet connection status.
• Asynchronous Operations: Utilizes Dart isolates for conducting connectivity checks asynchronously, ensuring the main UI thread remains unblocked.
• Responsive UI Components: PingerStatusListener widget updates its display in response to real-time connectivity changes.
• Customizable Settings: Users can specify URLs, ping timeout durations, and opt-in for logging to customize the behavior as needed.
• Non-blocking Design: The implementation guarantees that the UI interactions remain smooth and responsive during connectivity checks.

Getting Started

Follow these steps to integrate the Pinger Internet Status package into your Flutter application:

Installation

1. Include pinger_internet_status in your project's pubspec.yaml file:

   dependencies:
     flutter:
       sdk: flutter
     pinger_internet_status: ^0.2.0
   

2. Import the package in your Flutter application:

   import 'package:pinger_internet_status/pinger_internet_status.dart';

These examples showcase how the PingerInternetStatus can be integrated into Flutter applications using different state management techniques.

Usage

1. Set up PingerInternetStatus:

   Configure an instance of PingerInternetStatus by specifying URLs for connectivity checks and other optional parameters:

   final PingerInternetStatus pingerInternetStatus = PingerInternetStatus(
     hosts: ['https://google.com', 'https://example.com'],
     timeOut: 2, // Timeout in seconds
     logger: true, // Enable detailed logging for debug purposes
   );
   

2. Incorporate PingerStatusListener into your widget tree:

   Use PingerStatusListener to render widgets conditionally based on the current connectivity status:

   PingerStatusListener(
     statusChecker: pingerInternetStatus,
     builder: (PingerStatus status) => status == PingerStatus.connected
         ? Text('Connected to the Internet')
         : Text('Disconnected from the Internet'),
   );
