Handle tab switch or browser minimize states
ifvisible; ifvisible;
ifvisible.js can handle activity states too, such as being IDLE or ACTIVE on the page
ifvisible; ifvisible;
Default idle duration is 60 seconds but you can change it with setIdleDuration
method
ifvisible; // Page will become idle after 120 seconds
You can manually trigger status events by calling them directly or you can set events with their names by giving first argument as a callback
ifvisible; // will put page in a idle status ifvisible; // other methods areifvisible; // will trigger idle event as wellifvisible; ifvisible; // Will trigger wakeup event as wellifvisible;
You can set your smart intervals with ifvisible.js, if user is IDLE or not seeing the page the interval will automatically stop itself
// If page is visible run this function on every half secondsifvisible;
