## Example
### Event detection in the Renderer process
Starting with an HTML file `index.html`, this example will demonstrate how the `navigator.onLine` API can be used to build a connection status indicator.
Starting with a working application from the
[Quick Start Guide](quick-start.md), update the `main.js` file
with the following lines:
```javascript
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
let onlineStatusWindow
app.whenReady().then(() => {
onlineStatusWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 0, height: 0, show: false })
onlineStatusWindow.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/index.html`)
})
```html title="index.html"
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Hello World!</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="script-src 'self' 'unsafe-inline';" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Connection status: <strong id='status'></strong></h1>
<script src="renderer.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
```
in the `index.html` file, add the following line before the
closing `</body>` tag:
In order to mutate the DOM, create a `renderer.js` file that adds event listeners to the `'online'` and `'offline'` `window` events. The event handler sets the content of the `<strong id='status'>` element depending on the result of `navigator.onLine`.
```html
<script src="renderer.js"></script>
```
and add the `renderer.js` file:
```javascript fiddle='docs/fiddles/features/online-detection/renderer'
const alertOnlineStatus = () => { window.alert(navigator.onLine ? 'online' : 'offline') }
window.addEventListener('online', alertOnlineStatus)
window.addEventListener('offline', alertOnlineStatus)
alertOnlineStatus()
```
After launching the Electron application, you should see the notification:
![Online-offline-event detection](../images/online-event-detection.png)
### Event detection in the Main process
There may be situations when you want to respond to online/offline events in
the Main process as well. The Main process, however, does not have a
`navigator` object and cannot detect these events directly. In this case, you
need to forward the events to the Main process using Electron's inter-process
communication (IPC) utilities.
Starting with a working application from the
[Quick Start Guide](quick-start.md), update the `main.js` file
with the following lines:
```javascript
const { app, BrowserWindow, ipcMain } = require('electron')
let onlineStatusWindow
app.whenReady().then(() => {
onlineStatusWindow = new BrowserWindow({ width: 0, height: 0, show: false, webPreferences: { nodeIntegration: true } })
onlineStatusWindow.loadURL(`file://${__dirname}/index.html`)
})
ipcMain.on('online-status-changed', (event, status) => {
console.log(status)
})
```
in the `index.html` file, add the following line before the
closing `</body>` tag:
```html
<script src="renderer.js"></script>
```
and add the `renderer.js` file:
```javascript fiddle='docs/fiddles/features/online-detection/main'
const { ipcRenderer } = require('electron')
const updateOnlineStatus = () => { ipcRenderer.send('online-status-changed', navigator.onLine ? 'online' : 'offline') }
```js title='renderer.js'
function updateOnlineStatus () {
document.getElementById('status').innerHTML = navigator.onLine ? 'online' : 'offline'
}

After launching the Electron application, you should see the notification in the
Console:
Finally, create a `main.js` file for main process that creates the window.
```sh
npm start
```js title='main.js'
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron')
> electron@1.0.0 start /electron
> electron .
function createWindow () {
const onlineStatusWindow = new BrowserWindow({

createWindow()
}
})
})
app.on('window-all-closed', () => {
if (process.platform !== 'darwin') {
app.quit()
}
})
```
After launching the Electron application, you should see the notification:

> Note: If you need to communicate the connection status to the main process, use the [IPC renderer](../api/ipc-renderer.md) API.
