NetworkReachability

super: NetworkReachabilityManager

NetworkReachability monitors the reachability of domains, and addresses for both WWAN and WiFi network interfaces. It allows an application to determine the status of a system's current network configuration and the reachability of a target host. A remote host is considered reachable when a data packet, sent by an application into the network stack, can leave the local device. Reachability does not guarantee that the data packet will actually be received by the host. Reachability can be used to determine background information about why a network operation failed, or to trigger a network operation retrying when a connection is established. It should not be used to prevent a user from initiating a network request, as it's possible that an initial request may be required to establish reachability.

Events

• Load() This event is called when the object becames available in the current runtime system.

• Unload() This event is called when the object has been removed from the current runtime system (but not yet deallocated).

Properties

• var status: Int The current network reachability status. (read-only)

• var reachable: Bool Whether or not the network is currently reachable. (read-only)

• var reachableViaWWAN: Bool Whether or not the network is currently reachable via WWAN. (read-only)

• var reachableViaWiFi: Bool Whether or not the network is currently reachable via WiFi. (read-only)

• var statusString: String A localized string representation of the current network reachability status. (read-only)

• var objectName: String The name of the object.

Class Methods

• func allAddresses(): Map Returns all network interfaces and the their relative IPv4 or IPv6 address.

• func ipAddress(IPv4: Bool = true): String Returns the string representation of the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the device.

• func ipAddressForInterface(NetworkInterface: String = null): String Returns the string representation of the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the specified network interface.

Constructors

• func NetworkReachability(domain: String) Returns an initialized network reachability manager for the specified domain.

Methods

• func start() Starts monitoring for changes in network reachability status.

• func stop() Stops monitoring for changes in network reachability status.

• func setOnStatusChange(completion: Closure) Sets a closure to be executed when the network availability host changes. The completion closure has no return value and takes two arguments: the NetworkReachability instance and the new reachability status.

Examples

How to start monitoring network availability:

// networkReachability instance must be saved somewhere
// (for example in a class property) otherwise it will be
// automatically deallocated
var networkReachability = NetworkReachability()
// or networkReachability = NetworkReachability("www.google.com")

func onStatusChange(networkReachability,status) {
        Console.write("NetworkReachability status changed \(status)")
        Console.write(networkReachability.statusString);
        Console.write("reachable: \(networkReachability.reachable)");
        Console.write("WWAN: \(networkReachability.reachableViaWWAN)");
        Console.write("WiFi: \(networkReachability.reachableViaWiFi)");
    }

networkReachability.setOnStatusChange(onStatusChange)
networkReachability.start();
