Question

I am using this function below to get the internet connection type

function checkConnection() {
        var networkState = navigator.network.connection.type;

        var states = {};
        states[Connection.UNKNOWN]  = 'Unknown connection';
        states[Connection.ETHERNET] = 'Ethernet connection';
        states[Connection.WIFI]     = 'WiFi connection';
        states[Connection.CELL_2G]  = 'Cell 2G connection';
        states[Connection.CELL_3G]  = 'Cell 3G connection';
        states[Connection.CELL_4G]  = 'Cell 4G connection';
        states[Connection.NONE]     = 'No network connection';

        alert('Connection type: ' + states[networkState]);


}

This alerts the state: alert(‘Connection type: ‘ + states[networkState]);

What I need to do it get it to alert only if the state is states[Connection.NONE]

I tried:

if ((states[networkState]) = states[Connection.NONE]) {
    alert('No internet connection here');
}

but that didn’t work.

Logically, this

if ((states[networkState]) = states[Connection.NONE])

Should be

if ((states[networkState]) == states[Connection.NONE])
