Check Internet connectivity with jquery

Question

I am trying to check for the internet connection by sending a GET request to the server. I am a beginner in jquery and javascript. I am not using navigator.onLine

Answer 1

This piece of code will continue monitoring internet connection click bellow "Run code snippet" button and see it in action.

function checkInternetConnection(){
        var status = navigator.onLine;
        if (status) {
            console.log('Internet Available !!');
        } else {
            console.log('No internet Available !!');
        }  
        setTimeout(function() {
            checkInternetConnection();
        }, 1000);
      }

//calling above function
checkInternetConnection();
