#jQuery IdleDetection
jQuery plugin that detects when user went idle based on mouse movement, window focus and document.hasFocus().
##Usage
Add jQuery and jQuery IdleDetection in your HTML or Javascript bundle. This is how you add it in the HTML.
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.4/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.idledetection.js"></script>
Call the idleDetection function on the element you want to track. Can be $(window)
, $(document)
or any other jQuery element.
$(document).idleDetection({ onIdle: function() { alert('User has become Idle, do something!') }, onHide: function() { alert('Window/tab is not active anymore, do something else') }, onActive: function() { alert('User is active again. Hello user!') }, onShow: function() { alert('Window is active again. Hey there window ;)') }, onStatusChange: function(isIdle) { alert('User or window event has changed. The idle status is: ' + isIdle); // isIdle = false means user is active // isIdle = true means user is idle }, idleCheckPeriod: 10000 });
Keep in mind that the onStatusChange
function will be triggered when window/tab hide show events are triggered. This means that when a user will switch tabs, the onStatusChange
will be called. If you want to use only the idle actions based on events mousemove mousedown keydown keypress keyup ...etc
use only the onIdle
and onActive
callbacks or onHide
and onShow
for window/tab events.
