Idle

Excutes the callback function (do) when none of the specified events have occurred within given time, in other words when user is idle.

Usage

import { Idle } from 'idlejs';

// with predefined events on `document`
const idle = new Idle()
  .whenNotInteractive()
  .within(5)
  .do(() => logoutUser())
  .start();

// another example with custom events which are useful if events aren't bubbling up to the document
const idle = new Idle()
  .whenNot([{
    events: ['click', 'hover'],
    target: buttonEl,
  },
  {
    events: ['click', 'input'],
    target: inputEl,
  },
  ])
  .whenNotInteractive()
  .within(10)
  .do(logoutUser)
  .start();

For more features or examples please check the tests and source code.

NotIdle

Executes the callback function (do), if at least one of the specified events have occured within given time, in other words when user is not idle or interactive.

Usage

import { NotIdle } from 'idlejs';

// with predefined events on `document`
const idle = new Idle()
  .whenInteractive()
  .within(10)
  .do(() => log('user was active in the last 10 minutes'))
  .start();

// another example with custom events which are useful if events aren't bubbling up to the `document`
const notIdle = new NotIdle()
  .when([{
    events: ['click', 'hover'],
    target: buttonEl,
  },
  {
    events: ['click', 'input'],
    target: inputEl,
  },
  ])

  .within(10)
  .do(() => log('user was active in the last 10 minutes'))
  .start();

Setting time

Second parameter of within is time unit in miliseconds, by default 60000 (a minute).

// will trigger if nothing happens for 5 minutes
new Idle()
  .within(5)

// will trigger if nothing happens for 5 seconds
new Idle()
  .within(5, 1000)
