You can use cordova plugin :

<plugin name="NetworkStatus" value="org.apache.cordova.NetworkManager"/>

then for checking the connection:

function checkConnection() {
  var objConnection = navigator.network.connection;
  if (objConnection.type == Connection.NONE) {
    //Do somthing 
  }

}

for more details about the cordova network plugin and the connection types : cordova-plugin-network

Hope this help.

Update

lets say that you want to check the connection on device ready event:

Register checkconnection function to deviceready event.

document.addEventListener("deviceready", checkConnection, false);

check the connection if there is no connection for example :show him a message or do whatever action you want :

function checkConnection() {
      var objConnection = navigator.network.connection;
      if (objConnection.type == Connection.NONE) {
        alert("Please check your network connection"); 
      }

    }

Note: You can replace or use any other phone gap event to check the connection like "offline" event. So if you regiter the checkconnction function to offline event like this:

document.addEventListener("offline", checkConnection, false);

the alert message will be shown to user if he lost the connection.
