    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();
    
    });
