Examples


// If page is visible right now
if( ifvisible.now() ){
	// Display pop-up
	openPopUp();
}

// You can also check the page status
// using `now` method
if( !ifvisible.now('hidden') ){
  // Display pop-up if page is not hidden
  openPopUp();
}

// Possible statuses are:
// idle: when user has no interaction
// hidden: page is not visible
// active: page is visible and user is active

Handle tab switch or browser minimize states


ifvisible.on("blur", function(){
	// example code here..
	animations.pause();
});

ifvisible.on("focus", function(){
	// resume all animations
	animations.resume();
});

ifvisible.js can handle activity states too, such as being IDLE or ACTIVE on the page


ifvisible.on("idle", function(){
	// Stop auto updating the live data
	stream.pause();
});

ifvisible.on("wakeup", function(){
	// go back updating data
	stream.resume();
});

Default idle duration is 60 seconds but you can change it with setIdleDuration method


ifvisible.setIdleDuration(120); // 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.idle(); // will put page in a idle status

ifvisible.idle(function(){
	// This code will work when page goes into idle status
});

// other methods are
ifvisible.blur(); // will trigger idle event as well
ifvisible.idle();

ifvisible.focus(); // Will trigger wakeup event as well
ifvisible.wakeup();

You can use ifvisible.off() to remove event triggers:


ifvisible.off('idle', triggeredFunction); // will remove only triggeredFunction from being tiggered on idle
ifvisible.off('idle'); // will remove all events triggered on idle

// works with other events:
ifvisible.off('blur');
ifvisible.off('wakeup');
ifvisible.off('focus');

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 seconds
ifvisible.onEvery(0.5, function(){
    // Do an animation on the logo only when page is visible
	animateLogo();

});
