+# @push.rocks/smartping
+
+Small, typed, promise-first ping checks for Node.js. `@push.rocks/smartping` wraps the proven [`ping`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/ping) package behind a tiny TypeScript API, so service health checks, diagnostics, readiness probes, and connectivity tests stay easy to read.
+
+It uses the system `ping` command through the underlying dependency, so it is designed for Node.js environments with a working platform ping utility available.
+
+## Issue Reporting and Security
+
+For reporting bugs, issues, or security vulnerabilities, please visit [community.foss.global/](https://community.foss.global/). This is the central community hub for all issue reporting. Developers who sign and comply with our contribution agreement and go through identification can also get a [code.foss.global/](https://code.foss.global/) account to submit Pull Requests directly.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pnpm add @push.rocks/smartping
+```
+
+## What You Get
+
+- `Smartping`: a lightweight class for probing hosts.
+- `ping(host, timeout?)`: returns the full ping response from the underlying `ping.promise.probe(...)` call.
+- `pingAlive(host, timeout?)`: returns a boolean and converts ping failures into `false`.
+- TypeScript types, ESM exports, and direct async/await ergonomics.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { Smartping } from '@push.rocks/smartping';
+
+const smartping = new Smartping();
+
+const response = await smartping.ping('127.0.0.1', 1);
+
+console.log(response.alive); // true when the host responded
+console.log(response.time);  // response time reported by the platform ping utility
+```
+
+## API
+
+### `new Smartping()`
+
+Creates a ping helper instance. The class is intentionally stateless, so you can create one per module, per service, or per check without setup.
+
+```typescript
+import { Smartping } from '@push.rocks/smartping';
+
+const smartping = new Smartping();
+```
+
+### `smartping.ping(host, timeout?)`
+
+Runs a ping probe and returns the full response object from `ping.promise.probe(...)`.
+
+```typescript
+const result = await smartping.ping('example.com', 2);
+
+if (result.alive) {
+  console.log(`${result.host} responded in ${result.time}`);
+} else {
+  console.log(`${result.host} did not respond`);
+}
+```
+
+The `timeout` argument is passed to the underlying `ping` package as `timeout`, where it is documented as seconds. If omitted, `@push.rocks/smartping` uses its default value of `500`.
+
+### `smartping.pingAlive(host, timeout?)`
+
+Runs a ping probe and returns only the alive state.
+
+```typescript
+const databaseHostIsReachable = await smartping.pingAlive('10.0.0.5', 1);
+
+if (!databaseHostIsReachable) {
+  throw new Error('Database host is not reachable');
+}
+```
+
+`pingAlive(...)` is useful for health checks because it catches probe errors and returns `false` instead of throwing.
+
+## Usage Patterns
+
+### Service Health Check
+
+```typescript
+import { Smartping } from '@push.rocks/smartping';
+
+const smartping = new Smartping();
+
+export const checkNetworkDependency = async () => {
+  return smartping.pingAlive('api.internal.example', 1);
+};
+```
+
+### Diagnostics With Full Response Data
+
+```typescript
+import { Smartping } from '@push.rocks/smartping';
+
+const smartping = new Smartping();
+
+const hosts = ['127.0.0.1', 'example.com', '10.0.0.5'];
+
+for (const host of hosts) {
+  const result = await smartping.ping(host, 1);
+  console.log({
+    host,
+    alive: result.alive,
+    output: result.output,
+    time: result.time,
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Graceful Failure Handling
+
+```typescript
+import { Smartping } from '@push.rocks/smartping';
+
+const smartping = new Smartping();
+
+try {
+  const result = await smartping.ping('example.com', 1);
+  console.log(result);
+} catch (error) {
+  console.error('Ping probe failed before producing a response:', error);
+}
+```
+
+Use `ping(...)` when you need response details and want to decide how to handle errors yourself. Use `pingAlive(...)` when a simple `true` or `false` is the desired contract.
+
+## Runtime Notes
+
+- This package targets Node.js and ESM-based TypeScript projects.
+- The underlying `ping` package delegates to the operating system ping command.
+- Hosts can be DNS names or IP addresses accepted by the platform ping utility.
+- Timeout behavior is inherited from `ping`, including platform-specific details around system ping arguments.
