pinger_internet_status 0.2.1

A Flutter package for monitoring internet connectivity by periodically pinging specified URLs.

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.

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'),
   );
