dart_ping 9.0.1

Multi-platform network ping utility for native desktop and android applications.

Multi-platform network ping utility for Dart applications.

Created from templates made available by Stagehand under a BSD-style license.

Usage

A simple usage example:

import 'package:dart_ping/dart_ping.dart';

void main() async {
  // Create ping object with desired args
  final ping = Ping('google.com', count: 5);

  // Begin ping process and listen for output
  ping.stream.listen((event) {
    print(event);
  });
}

Instead of listening to a stream, you can perform a single ping and immediately return the result like so:

final result = await Ping('google.com', count: 1).stream.first;

To use dart_ping on iOS, add the dart_ping_ios package as a dependency and register the iOS plugin before initializing Ping. For more detailed docs, see the dart_ping_ios package. Note that the iOS plugin requires the flutter sdk. (this is why it is not integrated into dart_ping directly)

// Register DartPingIOS
DartPingIOS.register();
// Create ping object with desired args
final ping = Ping('google.com', count: 5);

To print the underlying ping command that will be used (useful for debugging):

print('Running command: ${ping.command}')

To prematurely halt the process:

await ping.stop()

Non-English Language Support

To support OS languages other than English, you can override the parser (Portuguese shown here):

final parser = PingParser(
    responseRgx: RegExp(r'de (?<ip>.*): bytes=(?:\d+) tempo=(?<time>\d+)ms TTL=(?<ttl>\d+)'),
    summaryRgx: RegExp(r'Enviados = (?<tx>\d+), Recebidos = (?<rx>\d+), Perdidos = (?:\d+)'),
    timeoutRgx: RegExp(r'host unreachable'),
    timeToLiveRgx: RegExp(r''),
    unknownHostStr: RegExp(r'A solicitação ping não pôde encontrar o host'),
  );

final ping = Ping('google.com', parser: parser);

On Windows installations, you can force the codepage (437) of the console instead of providing a custom parser:

final ping = Ping('google.com', forceCodepage: true);

To override the character encoding to ignore non-utf characters:

final ping = Ping('google.com', encoding: Utf8Codec(allowMalformed: true));
