What?
This PR suggests displaying an offline status if the user ends up being offline.
This is an experiment and is by no means finished or ready to merge.
DO NOT MERGE!
Why?
As we're starting to look into collaborative editing, we have to consider implementing proper offline support. While researching what we have in place, I spotted we already have an implementation of displaying online status for React Native:
useNetworkConnectivity()hookwithNetworkConnectivityHoC<OfflineStatus />component.However, we don't have them for the web version. This PR experiments with adding them, as a first step towards better offline support for the editor.
We could afterwards do a bunch of stuff with this hook, like for example stop trying any requests if we know we're offline. Right now, if an autosave request fails, we suspect that the user is offline and render a warning, but that's not necessarily the case.
How?
We're introducing:
useNetworkConnectivity()hook that utilizeswindow.navigator.onLineandonlineandofflineevents. I'm also adding basic tests.OfflineStatuscomponent that will render an offline status if the user is offline. That component is mostly for presentational purposes, I'm not certain this is the best way or best place to notify the user that they're online. But we're using that component for demonstrating theuseNetworkConnectivity()hook.We're also utilizing the
OfflineStatuscomponent in the post editor header.Testing Instructions
