- React-detect-offline - to detect network connectivity
I learnt network connectivity detection using navigator.onLine and online, offline events, though they have some drawbacks, for example, online event can still fire even when connected to a network without internet access.
console.log('Initially ' + (window.navigator.onLine ? 'on' : 'off') + 'line');
window.addEventListener('online', () => console.log('Became online'));
window.addEventListener('offline', () => console.log('Became offline'));
- I would like to focus my attention on loosy search algorithms
