Usage

Types

netInfoConfiguration

To be used only when the platform does not natively supply information on internet reachability.

Property	Type	Description
reachabilityUrl	string	URL used to test if the internet is reachable.
reachabilityTest	response => bool	A function to handle the response object returned when the reachability URL is called. It should return true if the response indicates that the internet is reachable.
reachabilityShortTimeout	float	Number of seconds between internet reachability checks when the internet was not previously detected.
reachabilityLongTimeout	float	Number of seconds between internet reachability checks when the internet was previously detected.
reachabilityRequestTimeout	float	Number of milliseconds allowed before reachability check fails.

netInfoStateType

Kind of the current network connection. Valid values are:

Value	Platforms	Connection State
none	Android, iOS, Windows	Not active
unknown	Android, iOS, Windows	Undetermined
cellular	Android, iOS, Windows	Active
wifi	Android, iOS, Windows	Active
bluetooth	Android	Active
ethernet	Android, Windows	Active
wimax	Android	Active
vpn	Android	Active
other	Android, iOS, Windows	Active

netInfoCellularGeneration

Cellular generation of the current network connection. Valid values are:

Value	Notes
net2g	Inlined as "2g". Returned for CDMA, EDGE, GPRS and IDEN connections
net3g	Inlined as "3g". Returned for EHRPD, EVDO, HSPA, HSUPA, HSDPA and UTMS connections.
net4g	Inlined as "4g". Returned for HSPAP and LTE connections

netInfoState

1type netInfoState = {
2  .
3  "_type": netInfoStateType,
4  "isConnected": bool,
5  "isInternetReachable": bool,
6  "isWifiEnabled": bool,
7  "details": Js.Null.t(details),
8};

• isConnected will be true if there is an active connection (but not imply that the internet is necessarily reachable).
• isInternetReachable will be true if the internet can be reached using the active connection
• isWifiEnabled will be true if WiFi is enabled on the device, and false otherwise. Android only.

details key will have value Js.Null.empty (null) when _type is null or unknown.

details

details depends on _type given within netInfoState. If _type is not null or unknown, details is an object as below:

1type details = {
2  .
3  "isConnectionExpensive": bool,
4  "ssid": Js.Nullable.t(string),
5  "strength": Js.Nullable.t(int),
6  "ipAddress": Js.Nullable.t(string),
7  "subnet": Js.Nullable.t(string),
8  "cellularGeneration": Js.Nullable.t(netInfoCellularGeneration),
9  "carrier": Js.Nullable.t(string),
10};

Property	Platform	Type	Description
isConnectionExpensive	Android, iOS, Windows	bool	If network connection is considered expensive in either energy or monetary terms.

Note that some keys may only exist in the JS object when _type is wifi or cellular. Accordingly, in Reason, keys may have values Js.Nullable.undefined.

• ssid, strength, ipAddress and subnet will have value Js.Nullable.undefined unless _type is wifi.
• cellularGeneration and carrier will have value Js.Nullable.undefined unless _type is cellular.

_type is wifi

Property	Platform	Type	Description
ssid	Android, iOS (not tvOS)	Js.Nullable.t(string)	SSID of the network. May have value Js.Nullable.undefined, Js.Nullable.null, or be an empty string if undetermined. On iOS, make sure your app meets at least one of the following requirements. On Android, make sure the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission is listed in AndroidManifest.xml and accepted by the user.
strength	Android	Js.Nullable.t(string)	If signal strength can be determined, will be an integer number from 0 to 5. May have value Js.Nullable.undefined otherwise.
ipAddress	Android, iOS	Js.Nullable.t(string)	External IP address. Can be in IPv4 or IPv6 format. May have value Js.Nullable.undefined if undetermined.
subnet	Android, iOS	Js.Nullable.t(string)	The subnet mask in IPv4 format. May have value Js.Nullable.undefined if undetermined.

type is cellular

Property	Platform	Type	Description
cellularGeneration	Android, iOS, Windows	NetInfoCellularGeneration	Generation of cell network the user is connected to. This can give an indication of speed, but no guarantees. May have value Js.Nullable.null if generation cannot be determined.
carrier	Android, iOS	string	The network carrier name. May have value Js.Nullable.undefined or may be empty if undetermined.

Methods

configure

1configure: netInfoConfiguration => unit

fetch

To query state of the active connection, returns netInfoState wrapped in a Promise.

1fetch: unit => Js.Promise.t(netInfoState)

Below example demonstrates determination of the cellular connection generation, using this method.

1React.useEffect0(() => {
2  Js.Promise.(
3    ReactNativeNetInfo.fetch()
4    |> then_(w =>
5         {
6           switch (w##details->Js.Null.toOption) {
7           | None => "Connection type is none or unknown"->Js.Console.warn
8           | Some(x) =>
9             let y = x##cellularGeneration;
10             switch (y->Js.Nullable.toOption) {
11             | None =>
12               if (y == Js.Nullable.undefined) {
13                 "Connection type is wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, wimax, vpn or other"
14                 ->Js.Console.warn;
15               } else {
16                 "Connection generation unknown"->Js.Console.warn;
17               }
18             | Some(z) =>
19               if (z == ReactNativeNetInfo.net2G) {
20                 "2G connection"->Js.Console.warn;
21               } else if (z == ReactNativeNetInfo.net3G) {
22                 "3G connection"->Js.Console.warn;
23               } else {
24                 "4G connection"->Js.Console.warn;
25               }
26             };
27           };
28         }
29         ->resolve
30       )
31    |> catch(err => "error"->Js.Console.warn->resolve)
32    |> ignore
33  );
34  None;
35});

fetchInterface

To query the connection state for a particular interface.

1fetchInterface: [ | `cellular | `ethernet | `wifi] => Js.Promise.t(netInfoState)

addEventListener

To subscribe to the connection state; accepts a listener of type netInfoState => unit and returns an unsubscribe method of type unit => unit. The listener will be called once following subscription and each time connection state changes.

1addEventListener: (netInfoState => unit) => t

where

1type t = unit => unit

Below example demonstrates subscribing to changes in connection state:

1React.useEffect0(() => {
2  let remove =
3    ReactNativeNetInfo.addEventListener(w =>
4      (
5        switch (w##details->Js.Null.toOption) {
6        | None => "Connection type is none or unknown"
7        | Some(x) =>
8          let y = x##cellularGeneration;
9          switch (y->Js.Nullable.toOption) {
10          | None =>
11            if (y == Js.Nullable.undefined) {
12              "Connection type is wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, wimax, vpn or other";
13            } else {
14              "Connection generation unknown";
15            }
16          | Some(z) =>
17            if (z == ReactNativeNetInfo.net2G) {
18              "2G connection";
19            } else if (z == ReactNativeNetInfo.net3G) {
20              "3G connection";
21            } else {
22              "4G connection";
23            }
24          };
25        }
26      )
27      ->Js.Console.warn
28    );
29  Js.Console.warn(remove);
30  Some(() => remove());
31});

useNetInfo

This method returns a React Hook with type netInfoState

1useNetInfo: unit => netInfoState

Below example demonstrates its use within a Text component:

1<Text>
2  (
3    switch (ReactNativeNetInfo.useNetInfo()##details->Js.Null.toOption) {
4    | None => "Connection type is none or unknown"
5    | Some(x) =>
6      let y = x##cellularGeneration;
7      switch (y->Js.Nullable.toOption) {
8      | None =>
9        if (y == Js.Nullable.undefined) {
10          "Connection type is wifi, bluetooth, ethernet, wimax, vpn or other";
11        } else {
12          "Connection generation unknown";
13        }
14      | Some(z) =>
15        if (z == ReactNativeNetInfo.net2G) {
16          "2G connection";
17        } else if (z == ReactNativeNetInfo.net3G) {
18          "3G connection";
19        } else {
20          "4G connection";
21        }
22      };
23    }
24  )
25  ->React.string
26</Text>
