Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

A Flutter package that enables dynamic widget management based on the device's current internet connectivity status. It provides real-time monitoring of network availability across multiple platforms, allowing developers to conditionally display content, show loading indicators, or trigger fallback UIs when offline. The package integrates seamlessly into apps requiring responsive behavior under varying network conditions. With a simple API and cross-platform support, it ensures consistent user experience regardless of connection state.

Use cases

  • Displaying offline banners
  • Conditionally rendering network-dependent widgets
  • Showing retry buttons when offline
  • Loading placeholders during connectivity loss
  • Handling API requests with network awareness
  • Updating UI based on real-time connectivity changes

Key features

  • Real-time connectivity monitoring
  • Cross-platform compatibility
  • Simple API for widget control
  • Automatic state updates
  • Supports all major desktop and mobile platforms
  • Lightweight and easy to integrate

Suitable for

  • Apps needing offline mode support
  • Network-sensitive applications
  • User interfaces requiring dynamic feedback
  • Developers building responsive network-aware features
  • Projects targeting Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux

Considerations

  • Requires proper permissions on some platforms
  • May need additional error handling for edge cases
  • Not suitable for high-frequency polling scenarios
  • Limited to connectivity status (not bandwidth)
  • Depends on system-level network detection APIs

internet_connectivity_checker

The connectivity package and other similar packages only provides information if there is a network connection, but not if the network is connected to the Internet. That's why the internet_connectivity_checker package helps you easily manage widgets dynamically based on the device's internet access.


Demo


🧑‍💻 Getting started

flutter pub add internet_connectivity_checker

🛠️ Usage

Simply import package:internet_connectivity_checker/internet_connectivity_checker.dart' and use the ConnectivityBuilder widget. It takes a builder and an optional parameter, interval(Duration object) which is the time interval to wait between each internet connectivity verification; default is 5 seconds.




Exemple
class Hello extends StatelessWidget {
  const Hello({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return ConnectivityBuilder(
      builder: (status) {
        bool connected = status == ConnectivityStatus.online;
        return Text(connected ? "Online" : "Offline");
      },
    );
  }
}

A more complete example.

ConnectivityBuilder(
  builder: (ConnectivityStatus status) {
    if (status == ConnectivityStatus.online) {
      return Container(
        decoration: BoxDecoration(
          color: Colors.green,
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(15),
        ),
        child: Center(child: Text("Online", style: kTextStyle)),
      );
    } else if (status == ConnectivityStatus.offline) {
      return Container(
        decoration: BoxDecoration(
          color: Colors.red,
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(15),
        ),
        child: Center(child: Text("Offline", style: kTextStyle)),
      );
    } else { // status == ConnectivityStatus.checking
      return const Center(
        child: SizedBox(
          width: 25,
          height: 25,
          child: CircularProgressIndicator(strokeWidth: 2),
        ),
      );
    }
  },
),

You can also use the ConnectivityChecker().stream stream, provided be the package, to handle the logic yourself.

class Foo extends StatelessWidget {
  const Foo({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StreamBuilder(
      stream: ConnectivityChecker(interval: const Duration(seconds: 10)).stream,
      builder: (context, snapshot) {
        if (snapshot.hasData && (snapshot.data as bool) == true) {
          return const Text("Online");
        } else if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) {
          return const Center(child: CircularProgressIndicator());
        } else {
          return const Text("Offline");
        }
      },
    );
  }
}
