node check if internet
To check if there is an internet connection in Node.js, you can use the dns
module to perform a DNS resolution. Here are the steps:
Import the
dns
module usingconst dns = require('dns');
.Use the
lookup
method of thedns
module to perform a DNS resolution. For example:javascript dns.lookup('google.com', (err, address, family) => { if (err) { console.log('No internet connection'); } else { console.log('Internet connection available'); } });
In the callback function of the
lookup
method, check for the presence of an error. If an error is present, log "No internet connection"; otherwise, log "Internet connection available".
These steps use the dns
module to perform a DNS resolution and determine the availability of an internet connection in Node.js.
