₈O (Oxide)

₈O (Oxide) is a javascript library to get connection information and allows the browser to load certain content only if a minimum speed requirements are met.

Getting started

Install

Install: npm install --save-dev 8o

After that you can either:

• Include/copy one of the files in release to your project to start using the full library.
• Include one or more of the files in src if you require only some of the functionality. The most suitable files for standalone use are:
  • benchmarker.js if you only want to use the speedtest components and not store the results across page navigations.
  • ipmonitor.js if you want to check ip address/connection changes while the user stays on the same webpage.

In all other scenarios you probably want to include the entire built library from the release folder.

Usage

The following example determines the average speed over 3 file downloads and when all three are done downloading decides wether or not to show a video.

var files = [

];
 
document.addEventListener("onOxideSpeedChange", function(e) {
    console.log( 'Connection speed: ' + Math.round(e.detail.speed) + ' kB/s, last file speed: '+Math.round(e.detail.lastFileSpeed) + ' kB/s, last file size: '+Math.round((e.detail.lastFileLoadTime*e.detail.lastFileSpeed)/1000) + ' kB');
    if( e.detail.queueSize == 0 ) {
        if( e.detail.speed >= 1000 ) {
            document.write('<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4SNGyKZ1DjM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>');
        }
        else {
            alert('We only recommend video if your internet speed is over 1000 kB/s');
        }
    }
});
 
var oxide = new Oxide();
for(var i = 0; i < files.length; i++ ) {
    oxide.load(files[i]);
}

Build

The library comes pre-built if you get it from Github or NPM. However if you want to customise it or build it yourself the package.json config file for npm includes build commands.

Use npm run build to build the releases from your source or npm run to see an overview of all other commands.
