These methods include scanning for wifi access points and connecting to these access points. | Features | Linux | Mac | Windows | | ----------------------------- | ----- | --- | ------- | | Connect | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Scan | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | List current wifi connections | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | | Disconnect | ✓ | | ✓ | | Delete connection information | ✓ | ✓ | | We wish to be clear in saying that this module is inspired from [node-wifi-control](https://github.com/msolters/wifi-control-node) but with some slight modifications to certain functions such as the various OS-specific parsers for terminal output as we noticed that these parsers did not work well on certain operating systems. > As everything with hardware dependencies, weird behaviors may happen depending of your configuration. You should never hesitate to notify us about a specificity of your OS/Hardware/Wifi card/whatever. --- ## Install ```bash # Use as a module npm install node-wifi # Use as a CLI npm install node-wifi -g ``` ## Getting started ```javascript var wifi = require("node-wifi"); // Initialize wifi module // Absolutely necessary even to set interface to null wifi.init({ iface: null // network interface, choose a random wifi interface if set to null }); // Scan networks wifi.scan(function(err, networks) { if (err) { console.log(err); } else { console.log(networks); /* networks = [ { ssid: '...', bssid: '...', mac: '...', // equals to bssid (for retrocompatibility) channel: <number>, frequency: <number>, // in MHz signal_level: <number>, // in dB quality: <number>, // same as signal level but in % security: 'WPA WPA2' // format depending on locale for open networks in Windows security_flags: '...' // encryption protocols (format currently depending of the OS) mode: '...' // network mode like Infra (format currently depending of the OS) }, ... ]; */ } }); // Connect to a network wifi.connect({ ssid: "ssid", password: "password" }, function(err) { if (err) { console.log(err); } console.log("Connected"); }); // Disconnect from a network // not available on all os for now wifi.disconnect(function(err) { if (err) { console.log(err); } console.log("Disconnected"); }); // Delete a saved network // not available on all os for now wifi.deleteConnection({ ssid: "ssid" }, function(err) { if (err) { console.log(err); } console.log("Deleted"); }); // List the current wifi connections wifi.getCurrentConnections(function(err, currentConnections) { if (err) { console.log(err); } console.log(currentConnections); /* // you may have several connections [ { iface: '...', // network interface used for the connection, not available on macOS ssid: '...', bssid: '...', mac: '...', // equals to bssid (for retrocompatibility) channel: <number>, frequency: <number>, // in MHz signal_level: <number>, // in dB quality: <number>, // same as signal level but in % security: '...' // security_flags: '...' // encryption protocols (format currently depending of the OS) mode: '...' // network mode like Infra (format currently depending of the OS) } ] */ }); // All functions also return promise if there is no callback given wifi .scan() .then(function(networks) { // networks }) .catch(function(error) { // error }); ``` ## Use as CLI ```javascript wifi --scan wifi --connect --ssid <ssid> --password <password> [--iface <wlan0>] wifi --disconnect wifi --current ``` ## Dependencies Linux: - network-manager ## Contribute Please read [development guidelines](./CONTRIBUTING.md) before proposing a pull request. ## Roadmap - [x] add conventional commits - [x] plug to travis - [x] add github templates - [x] add eslint - [x] add prettier - [x] switch to MIT license - [ ] rewrite the library using ES7 - [ ] add unit tests - [ ] stdout how to reproduce bug - [ ] install commitizen - [ ] generate changelog and release note
