Offline notifications

[leekelleher]

Idea summary

Notify Umbraco back-office users if they go offline

heyoffline.js - If a content editor is working on a fragile internet connection, this plugin could warn them when their network goes down. Make sure they don't lose anything. (Maybe save to localStorage?)

Update (August 2023). The heyoffline,js library hasn't been maintained in over 3 years.
All modern browsers now support the window.navigator.onLine property. It might be simpler to hook into the offline event. See this StackOverflow question for a code example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/53820206/12787

• Back-office
• Developer Tools
• Front-end

After updating with info about the offline event hook, I hacked together a little code snippet to add a notification icon to the backoffice nav bar: https://gist.github.com/leekelleher/7285d00188906dfb4b29a39183540556#file-umb-hack-offlineindicator-js
