JJG Ping is a simple ping wrapper for Node.js which returns the latency and result of a ping to a given address.
Ping was created by Jeff Geerling of Midwestern Mac, LLC in 2013.
Use NPM:
$ npm install jjg-ping
// Use the jjg-ping library.
var ping = require('jjg-ping');
// Ping google.com.
ping.system.ping('google.com', function(latency, status) {
if (status) {
// Host is reachable/up. Latency should have a value.
console.log('Google is reachable (' + latency + ' ms ping).');
}
else {
// Host is down. Latency should be 0.
console.log('Google is unreachable.');
}
});
Because npm doesn't support namespacing, and ping, node-ping, and all the other namespaces I wanted were already taken.
