Idle Handler

A small and simple free dependency to manage window idle.

Installation

npm install dw-idle-handler

Usage

const idleHandler   = require('dw-idle-handler');

idleHandler.start({
   timeout  : 30, // minutes 
   inactive : 5  
});

idleHandler.on("timeout",(e)=>{
   if(e.tab.lastFocus){
      //this was the last focused browser tab
   }
});

idleHandler.on("inactive",()=>{
   //window is inactive
});

idleHandler.on("active",()=>{
   //window is active
   //Detected user interaction by one of this events : click, keypress, mouseover and touchstart
});

Note

Thanks to the TabsManager package and local storage the library can has a persistent timer even if there are multiple browser tabs the timer will be the same for each window only allowing only one lnterval timer for the active tab or the last active tab, anyway when a tab has passed timeout all tabs will be notified by the timeout event

For previous versions <= 0.0.9

idleHandler.start({
    timeout  : 30, // minutes 
    inactive : 5  
});
idleHandler.subscribe("onIdle",callback);
idleHandler.subscribe("onInactive",callback);
idleHandler.subscribe("onActive",callback);
