Library for interacting with network interfaces on Debian based systems.

Prerequisites

This library is designed for Debian systems, and requires a few packages to be installed.

sudo apt install wpasupplicant network-manager dnsmasq hostapd

Next you need to disable the dnsmasq and hostapd services. These services will be dynamically configured and controled by this library.

sudo systemctl disable dnsmasq
sudo systemctl disable hostapd

Installing

yarn add @hoobs/network

Or using NPM.

npm install @hoobs/network

First inport this into your code.

const network = require("./network");

Fetch a list of active connections.

const connections = network.current();

if (network.connected) {
    console.log(connections);
}

Fetch a list of network devices.

const devices = network.devices();

Fetch a list of available wireless networks.

const networks = network.wireless.scan();

Connect/Disconnect a wireless network.

network.wireless.connect("ssid", "password");
network.wireless.disconnect();
