How to check if the user is connected to the Internet?

Scriptable

I have the following code:

let widget = await createWidget();
if (config.runsInWidget) {
  Script.setWidget(widget);
  
  widget.presentMedium();
  Script.complete();
}
​
async function createWidget() {
  let listWidget = new ListWidget();
  listWidget.backgroundColor = Color.white();
  
  let isConnected = await checkConnection();
  
  let widgetText = listWidget.addText("You are " + (isConnected ? "connected to the Internet." : "not connected to the Internet."));
  widgetText.font = Font.regularSystemFont(16);
  widgetText.textColor = new Color("212529", 1.0);
  widgetText.centerAlignText();
  
  return listWidget;
}
​
async function checkConnection() {
  /* I need help on this part! */
}

I need to find a way to check if the user is connected to the Internet. I even looked at the documentation various times, and still no luck.

Does anyone know a way to achieve this?

There is another suggestion in this thread on the same topic.

Remember to search the forum for others asking the same question as well as reading the Scriptable documentation :wink:
