How to logout after inactivity or idle — AngularJS
You’re working on an awesome app, and you want to logout users that don’t have any activities for a certain amount of time on the app — yup, they deserve it (just kidding :D)
There is a package name ng-idle that you can use in this situation, and they also have a version for Angular 2+ if you want to try it out. However, in this article, I will do a demo on AngularJS 1.x — Yeah, I’m working with those old fashtioned guys for now.
If you want to take a peek that the final product, you can do it at Plunker.
Create an AngularJS project
Well, you just need a html and/or a JavaScript file to run an AngularJS project
// index.html<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.1/angular.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.1/angular-animate.js"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.1/angular-sanitize.js"></script>
<script src="//angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls-2.5.0.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/ng-idle/1.3.2/angular-idle.min.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<section ng-controller="DemoCtrl">
<p>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success" ng-hide="started" ng-click="start()">Start Demo</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger" ng-show="started" ng-click="stop()">Stop Demo</button>
</p>
</section>
</body></html>
First, I embeded angularjs and angular-idle to the head of the html file. The others are just for decoration.
// app.js angular.module('myApp', ['ngAnimate', 'ngSanitize', 'ui.bootstrap', 'ngIdle']);angular.module('myApp').config(['KeepaliveProvider', 'IdleProvider', function(KeepaliveProvider, IdleProvider) { // configure Idle settings
IdleProvider.idle(5);
IdleProvider.timeout(5);
KeepaliveProvider.interval(10); IdleProvider.interrupt('keydown wheel mousedown touchstart touchmove scroll');
}]);angular.module('myApp').controller('DemoCtrl', function ($scope, Idle, Keepalive, $uibModal) { $scope.$on('IdleStart', function() {
// the user appears to have gone idle
}); $scope.$on('IdleTimeout', function() {
// the user has timed out, let log them out
}); $scope.$on('IdleEnd', function() {
// the user has come back from AFK and is doing stuff
});});angular.module('myApp').config(function(IdleProvider, KeepaliveProvider) {
IdleProvider.idle(5);
IdleProvider.timeout(5);
KeepaliveProvider.interval(10);
});
Create Modal for Warning and Timeout
Warning Modal — this will show before timeout
// warning-dialog.html<div class="modal-header">
<h3 class="modal-title" id="modal-title">{{ pc.title }}</h3>
</div>
<div idle-countdown="countdown" ng-init="countdown=5" class="modal-body" id="modal-body">
<uib-progressbar max="5" value="5" animate="false" class="progress-striped active">You'll be logged out in {{countdown}} second(s).</uib-progressbar>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" ng-click="pc.ok()">OK</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" type="button" ng-click="pc.cancel()">Cancel</button>
</div>
Timeout Modal — this will show after the warning modal and the user doesn’t do anything. At this stage, the user has already logged out.
// timeout-dialog.html<div class="modal-header">
<h3 id="modal-title">You've Timed Out!</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body" id="modal-body">
<p>
You were idle too long...
</p>
</div>

Hope this helps :)
