Detect if MetaMask was just unlocked

Question

I want to detect if my user unlock their metamask so I can redirect them to the right page as soon as they unlock instead of having them click away from the "your metamask is locked" page. Is that possible?

Check that web3.eth.coinbase is not null. – Anatoli Babenia Jun 16 '18 at 08:27 — Anatoli Babenia, Jun 16 '18 at 08:27

If metamask is unlocked you should be able to call web3.eth.accounts.getAccounts() ( v 1.0.x ) to retrieve node's owned accounts or web3.eth.accounts with a non empty array node's owned account as result.

metamask experimental feature

 const isLocked = !(await ethereum._metamask.isUnlocked());
  if (isLocked) {
     window.location.reload()
  }
  // if not locked execute the rest of the logic
