I wrote an applet that makes an API call every 10 minutes, but I want it to show a message if the computer is offline. This means I need to get the network status within QML. I thought a DataEngine might be available, but there isn’t.
I read the code for plasma-nm and found this solution hack:
import org.kde.plasma.networkmanagement 0.2 as PlasmaNM
PlasmaNM.NetworkStatus {
id: networkStatus
}
PlasmaComponents3.Label {
visible: networkStatus.networkStatus != "Connected"
text: i18n("Network disconnected")
}
But I think comparing strings is a terrible way because I don’t know what will happen in other locales.
Is there a better way?

It seems networkStatus doesn’t provide a connectivity attribute and PlasmaNM.NetworkManager doesn’t have a Full either:
console.log(Object.keys(networkStatus))
qml: [objectName,activeConnections,networkStatus,objectNameChanged,activeConnectionsChanged,networkStatusChanged]
networkStatus.connectivity !== PlasmaNM.NetworkManager.Full
.../contents/ui/main.qml:150: TypeError: Cannot read property 'Full' of undefined
