How to detect 4G dongle s connected to my computer using NodeJs

Question

How can I use NodeJS to identify 4G dongles connected to my computer?

I experimented with the following code:

var os = require('os');
var allNetworkInterfaces = os.networkInterfaces();
console.log(allNetworkInterfaces);

It's functional, but I've acquired all network interfaces... I'd like a list that solely includes my 4G dongles. Knowing that I might have one dongle or numerous dongles, as well as other USB gadgets, connected to the same computer.

Answer 1

I was able to get a list of usb devices using the following code after installing the usb package with npm install usb:

const usb = require('usb');
const devices = usb.getDeviceList();
console.log( devices );

You'll have to sort through the list to figure out which one is your "4G dongle."
