## What it is
A small React component library that tracks the browser's online/offline connection state. It ships Online, Offline, and Detector components that conditionally render children based on connectivity, with a configurable polling fallback for browsers with unreliable online events.

## Use cases
- detect if the user is offline in a react app
- show a banner when internet connection is lost
- conditionally render content only when online
- monitor network connectivity changes in react
- display an offline message in a react component
- style the ui differently based on connection status

## When to choose
- You use React and want a tiny, declarative way to render UI based on online/offline state
- You need a render-prop Detector for complex cases like swapping styles on connectivity changes
- You want a polling fallback for browsers where the online event is unreliable

## When to avoid
- Your project is not built with React
- You need network quality metrics such as bandwidth or latency, not just an online/offline flag
- You require a library with frequent recent releases or a hooks-first API
