Trigger A Function When The User Goes Idle – idle-tracker

A small idle tracker library that tracks user interactions on the webpage and fires a callback function if the user goes idle.

Default events the library listens for:

• change
• keydown
• mousedown
• mousemove
• mouseup
• orientationchange
• resize
• scroll
• touchend
• touchmove
• touchstart
• visibilitychange

How to use it:

Install the library with package managers.

# Yarn
$ yarn add idle-tracker
# NPM
$ npm install idle-tracker --save

Import the idle-tracker.

import IdleTracker from 'idle-tracker';

Or load the umd version of the idle-tracker in the document.

<script src="dist/umd/index.js"></script>
<script src="dist/umd/active-events.js"></script>

Create a new Idle Tracker and specify the timeout, callback function, and active events.

var idelTracker = new Tracker({
    timeout: 3000,
    onIdleCallback: idleFunction,
    throttle: 500
    events: activeEvents.default
});

Start the idle tracker and done.

idelTracker.start();
