Detect User Activity And Fire Callback After A Idle Time – idle.js

Preview:

Description:

idle.js is a vanilla JavaScript based idle timer that checks if a user is idle for a specific amount of time and fires a callback function (or redirects the page to another)  if the user goes idle.

By default, the library detects user activity based on mouse movement, click, keydown and window scroll events.

How to use it:

Insert the JavaScript file ‘idle.js’ into the document.

<script src="/dist/idle.js"></script>

Set the  ‘idle’ timeout in milliseconds.

// 2 seconds
_idle('interval', 2000);

Execute a function when the user goes idle.

_idle('callback', function(){
  // do something
});

Redirect the page to another.

_idle('url', ['logout.html']);

Redirect the page to an escape page (no need to detect idle).

_idle('escape', ['logout.html']);

Set the event types used to detect the user activity.

_idle('eventTypes', ['mousemove', 'click', 'keydown', 'scroll']);
