# default-gateway
[](https://www.npmjs.org/package/default-gateway) [](https://www.npmjs.org/package/default-gateway)
Obtains the machine's default gateway through `exec` calls to OS routing interfaces.
- On Linux and Android, the `ip` command must be available (usually provided by the `iproute2` package). - On Windows, `wmic` must be available. - On IBM i, the `db2util` command must be available (provided by the `db2util` package). - On Unix (and macOS), the `netstat` command must be available.
## Installation
``` $ npm i default-gateway ```
## Example
```js const defaultGateway = require('default-gateway');
const {gateway, interface} = await defaultGateway.v4(); // gateway = '1.2.3.4', interface = 'en1'
const {gateway, interface} = await defaultGateway.v6(); // gateway = '2001:db8::1', interface = 'en2'
const {gateway, interface} = defaultGateway.v4.sync(); // gateway = '1.2.3.4', interface = 'en1'
const {gateway, interface} = defaultGateway.v6.sync(); // gateway = '2001:db8::1', interface = 'en2' ```
## API
### defaultGateway.v4()
### defaultGateway.v6()
### defaultGateway.v4.sync()
### defaultGateway.v6.sync()
Returns: `result` *Object* - `gateway`: The IP address of the default gateway. - `interface`: The name of the interface. On Windows, this is the network adapter name.
The `.v{4,6}()` methods return a Promise while the `.v{4,6}.sync()` variants will return the result synchronously.
The `gateway` property will always be defined on success, while `interface` can be `null` if it cannot be determined. All methods reject/throw on unexpected conditions.
