@react-native-community/netinfo
React Native Network Info API for Android, iOS, macOS, Windows & Web. It allows you to get information on:
Install the library using either Yarn:
yarn add @react-native-community/netinfo
or npm:
npm install --save @react-native-community/netinfo
Using React Native >= 0.60
Linking the package manually is not required anymore with Autolinking.
iOS Platform:
$ npx pod-install
# CocoaPods on iOS needs this extra step
Android Platform with AndroidX:
Modify your android/build.gradle configuration:
buildscript {
ext {
buildToolsVersion = "xx.yy.zz"
minSdkVersion = xyz
compileSdkVersion = xyz
targetSdkVersion = xyz
}
macOS Platform:
Autolinking is not yet available on macOS. See the Manual linking steps for macOS below.
Open your project .xcodeproj
on xcode.
Right click on the Libraries folder and select Add files to "yourProjectName"
.
Add RNCNetInfo.xcodeproj
(located at node_modules/@react-native-community/react-native-netinfo/macos
) to your project Libraries.
Go to Build Phases -> Link Binary with Libraries
and add: libRNCNetInfo-macOS.a
.
Windows Platform:
Autolinking automatically works on RNW >= 0.63.
To use this library you need to ensure you are using the correct version of React Native. We support react-native 0.60+ with auto-linking.
If you are using a version of React Native that is lower than 0.60 check older versions of this README for details, but no support will be provided.
The web implementation heavily depends on the Network Information API which is still an is an experimental technology and thus it's not supported in every browser. If this API is not available the library will safely fallback to the old onLine property and return basic connection information.
AbortController is used to cancel network requests, and may not be available on Internet Explorer, though it is available on Edge https://caniuse.com/abortcontroller
Node v16 is the minimum required node version - AbortController
is only present in stable versions of node from v16 on
react-native
module
This module was created when the NetInfo was split out from the core of React Native. To migrate to this module you need to follow the installation instructions above and then change your imports from:
import { NetInfo } from "react-native";
to:
import NetInfo from "@react-native-community/netinfo";
Note that the API was updated after it was extracted from NetInfo to support some new features, however, the previous API is still available and works with no updates to your code.
Global vs isolated instanceInternally this library has a network state manager class to handle all the functionality and state. This library provides two options for instantiating the class:
Subscribe to network state updates:
import { addEventListener } from "@react-native-community/netinfo"; // Subscribe const unsubscribe = addEventListener(state => { console.log("Connection type", state.type); console.log("Is connected?", state.isConnected); }); // Unsubscribe unsubscribe();
Get the network state once:
import { fetch } from "@react-native-community/netinfo"; fetch().then(state => { console.log("Connection type", state.type); console.log("Is connected?", state.isConnected); });
Get network state updates from the global instance via a react hook:
import { useNetInfo } from "@react-native-community/netinfo"; const { type, isConnected } = useNetInfo();
Use an isolated instance of the network manager:
import { useNetInfoInstance } from "@react-native-community/netinfo"; const { netInfo: { type, isConnected }, refresh } = useNetInfoInstance();
Describes the current state of the network. It is an object with these properties:
Property Type Descriptiontype

for many otherwise valid networks (https://caniuse.com/netinfo), so isConnected
may be true
or false
and represent a real connection status even for unknown network types in certain cases. isInternetReachable

Please note the difference between global and isolated usage described here
Configures the library with the given configuration. You only need to supply the properties which you want to change from the default values.
Note that calling this will stop all previously added listeners from being called again. It is best to call this right when your application is started to avoid issues.
Example:
NetInfo.configure({ reachabilityUrl: 'https://clients3.google.com/generate_204', reachabilityTest: async (response) => response.status === 204, reachabilityLongTimeout: 60 * 1000, // 60s reachabilityShortTimeout: 5 * 1000, // 5s reachabilityRequestTimeout: 15 * 1000, // 15s reachabilityShouldRun: () => true, shouldFetchWiFiSSID: true, // met iOS requirements to get SSID. Will leak memory if set to true without meeting requirements. useNativeReachability: false });
Subscribe to connection information. The callback is called with a parameter of type NetInfoState
whenever the connection state changes. Your listener will be called with the latest information soon after you subscribe and then with any subsequent changes afterwards. You should not assume that the listener is called in the same way across devices or platforms.
listener
(state:
NetInfoState
) => void
The listener which will be called whenever the connection state changes
Example:
// Subscribe const unsubscribe = NetInfo.addEventListener(state => { console.log("Connection type", state.type); console.log("Is connected?", state.isConnected); }); // Unsubscribe unsubscribe();
A React Hook which can be used to get access to the latest state from the global instance. It returns a hook with the NetInfoState
type.
Example:
import {useNetInfo} from "@react-native-community/netinfo"; const YourComponent = () => { const netInfo = useNetInfo(); return ( <View> <Text>Type: {netInfo.type}</Text> <Text>Is Connected? {netInfo.isConnected?.toString()}</Text> </View> ); };
You can optionally send configuration when setting up the hook. Note that configuration is global for the library, so you shouldn't send different configuration for different hooks. It is instead recommended that you called NetInfo.configure()
once when your project starts. The hook option is only provided as a convinience.
const YourComponent = () => { const netInfo = useNetInfo({ reachabilityUrl: 'https://clients3.google.com/generate_204', reachabilityTest: async (response) => response.status === 204, reachabilityLongTimeout: 60 * 1000, // 60s reachabilityShortTimeout: 5 * 1000, // 5s reachabilityRequestTimeout: 15 * 1000, // 15s reachabilityShouldRun: () => true, shouldFetchWiFiSSID: true, // met iOS requirements to get SSID useNativeReachability: false }); // ... };
Returns a Promise
that resolves to a NetInfoState
object.
Example:
NetInfo.fetch().then(state => { console.log("Connection type", state.type); console.log("Is connected?", state.isConnected); });
You can optionally send an interface
string so the Promise
resolves to a NetInfoState
from the NetInfoStateType
indicated in interface
argument.
NetInfo.fetch("wifi").then(state => { console.log("SSID", state.details.ssid); console.log("BSSID", state.details.bssid); console.log("Is connected?", state.isConnected); });
Updates NetInfo's internal state, then returns a Promise
that resolves to a NetInfoState
object. This is similar to fetch()
, but really only useful on platforms that do not supply internet reachability natively. For example, you can use it to immediately re-run an internet reachability test if a network request fails unexpectedly.
Example:
NetInfo.refresh().then(state => { console.log("Connection type", state.type); console.log("Is connected?", state.isConnected); });
This will also update subscribers using addEventListener
and/or useNetInfo
.
Please note the difference between global and isolated usage described here
A React Hook which can be used to create and manage an isolated instance of a network manager class. It returns a refresh
function and the current NetInfoState
.
Example:
import { useNetInfoInstance } from "@react-native-community/netinfo"; const YourComponent = () => { const {netInfo, refresh} = useNetInfoInstance(); return ( <View> <Text>Type: {netInfo.type}</Text> <Text>Is Connected? {netInfo.isConnected?.toString()}</Text> </View> ); };
isPaused: You can also pause the hooks internal network checks by passing a boolean value true
as the first argument.
configuration: You can optionally send configuration as the second argument when setting up the hook. Note that configuration is local to the instance managed by this hook and has no relation to the configuration passed to other functions configure()
or useNetInfo()
;
import { useNetInfoInstance } from "@react-native-community/netinfo"; const YourComponent = () => { const isPaused = false; const config = { reachabilityUrl: 'https://clients3.google.com/generate_204', reachabilityTest: async (response) => response.status === 204, reachabilityLongTimeout: 60 * 1000, // 60s reachabilityShortTimeout: 5 * 1000, // 5s reachabilityRequestTimeout: 15 * 1000, // 15s reachabilityShouldRun: () => true, shouldFetchWiFiSSID: true, // met iOS requirements to get SSID useNativeReachability: false } const { netInfo } = useNetInfoInstance(isPaused, config); //...Errors when building on Android Errors while running Jest tests
If you do not have a Jest Setup file configured, you should add the following to your Jest settings and create the jest.setup.js
file in project root:
setupFiles: ['<rootDir>/jest.setup.js']
You should then add the following to your Jest setup file to mock the NetInfo Native Module:
import mockRNCNetInfo from '@react-native-community/netinfo/jest/netinfo-mock.js'; jest.mock('@react-native-community/netinfo', () => mockRNCNetInfo);Issues with the iOS simulator
There is a known issue with the iOS Simulator which causes it to not receive network change notifications correctly when the host machine disconnects and then connects to Wifi. If you are having issues with iOS then please test on an actual device before reporting any bugs.
Switching between different Wi-Fi does not send events in iOSThe SCNetworkReachability API used in iOS does not send events to the app in the background, so switching from one Wi-Fi network to another when your App was in background will not send an event and your network state will be out of sync with device state. To be sure you have up to date status when your app is in foreground again, you should re-fetch state each time when App comes to foreground, something like this:
useEffect(() => { const subAppState = AppState.addEventListener("change", async (nextAppState) => { if (IS_IOS_DEVICE && nextAppState=='active') { let newNetInfo = await NativeModules.RNCNetInfo.getCurrentState('wifi'); //your code here } }); const unsubNetState = NetInfo.addEventListener(state => { //your code here }); return () => { if (subAppState) { subAppState.remove(); } unsubNetState(); }; },[]);
