How to Check Network Connection at Every Second in Ionic App

This article applies to fellow Ionic app developers who are using the Cordova network plugin to check Internet connectivity.

I am going to explain a network-related problem I faced during the development of the Ionic app using MS Visual Studio and Mac OS.

I hope this will help the Ionic app development community.

Problem:

I am working in Ionic (using Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova) in my mobile application, especially when I have more than 15 pages. Thus, I need to check whether internet connectivity is available or not for every action. But I can’t find any solution that globally checks the Connectivity of the Internet.

  2. Create a Calling function in an app.js file after Ionic Platform Ready. Thus, It checks Internet connectivity after every time interval that is set by a user.
