Expected Behavior

Is there a .isConnected() method to check if the target wifi is connected or not?

Current Behavior

I am trying to use wifi.scan() method to get the information of the networks.

// disconnected
{
  mac: 'd4:c8:b0:06:a1:71',
  bssid: 'd4:c8:b0:06:a1:71',
  ssid: 'ZA-Office',
  channel: 36,
  frequency: 5180,
  signal_level: '-69',
  quality: 62,
  security: '',
  security_flags: []
},

// connected
{
  mac: '44:6a:2e:10:44:31',
  bssid: '44:6a:2e:10:44:31',
  ssid: 'ZA-Office',
  channel: 36,
  frequency: 5180,
  signal_level: '-92',
  quality: 16,
  security: '',
  security_flags: []
}

There is no field to indicate whether the network is connected.

Affected features

[x] node API
[ ] cli

Context

I want to implement a function that automatically reconnects when wifi is disconnected.

Your Environment

OS: macOS 10.15.7 (19H524)
node-wifi version: "node-wifi": "^2.0.14",
wifi card: Don't know

You can use .getCurrentConnections() and compare the results to check if you're on the right network.
