5.1.0

⚡️ Features

• New implementation of Leader Election.

Due to popular request, Leader Election has returned in version 5.1.0. While the old implementation was incompatible with v5, this new implementation is compatible. A new property leaderElection is exposed to enable the feature. The major difference between the v4 and v5 implementation is that in v5 events are not isolated to your leader tab automatically. You will need to call the isLeader method inside your event handlers. See the docs for more information.

• Fix a bug where reset would not propagate cross tab.

4.6.2

✨ Enhancements

• Allow for dynamically setting onActive and onIdle event handlers in conjunction with cross tab event reconciliation.

4.6.1

✨ Enhancements

• When emitOnAllTabs is set to true, start, reset, pause and resume will be called on all tabs.
• Calling reset will now automatically fire onActive while calling start will not. Otherwise these two methods are functionally equivalent.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix an issue where the localStorage method would not call idle if there wasn't any user activity on the page.
• Fix an issue where the TabManager would not deregister itself when the tab was closed if it was not the leader tab.

🚿 Clean up

• Fix a type-o in propTypes, typescript definitions and docs.

4.6.0

⚡️ Features

• Add cross tab support. See examples and README for usage and documentation.
• Add an isLeader() method that returns a boolean indicating whether or not the current tab is the lead orchestrator for cross tab reconciliation.
• Add a startManually configuration option to enable starting of the timer and activity detection manually. An alias to reset() called start() is also exposed to keep the code more semantic. If startManually is set to true, the IdleTimer component and useIdleTimer hook wont start until reset() or start() are called.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix a bug where throttle and debounce wouldn't work at higher values in useIdleTimer.

4.5.6

4.2.0

⚡️ Features

• Dynamically bind and unbind events.

Events are unbound when:

• stopOnIdle is set to true and the user goes idle
• pause() is called

Events are bound when:

• component is mounted
• reset() is called
• resume() is called

4.1.3

🐞 Bug Fixes

• stopOnIdle will now keep IdleTimer in idle state until reset() is called.

4.1.2

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix a bug where stopOnIdle logic was being applied to active state.

4.1.1

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix a bug where initial onIdle event was not firing when stopOnIdle is set

4.1.0

⚡️ Features

• Add property stopOnIdle defaults to false. Setting to true will prevent user activity from restarting the IdleTimer once it has gone idle. This useful if you want to do some custom async stuff before the IdleTimer gets restarted. In order to restart the IdleTimer call reset() on your ref.
• Add event handler onActive which enables reporting of all user activity from IdleTimer. The built in debounce or throttle properties will help increase performance if you are using the onActive event. By default debounce and throttle are off. Only one can be enabled at a time.
• Add property debounce defaults to 0. Set the onActive debounce delay in milliseconds. The throttle property cannot be set if this property is set.
• Add property throttle defaults to 0. Set the onActive throttle delay in milliseconds. The debounce property cannot be set if this property is set.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix a bug where setting startOnMount to false starts IdleTimer in the wrong state.

4.0.4

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fix a bug where the module could not be imported.

4.0.1

📝 Documentation

• Minor documentation updates

💚 CI

• Continuous integration bugfixes

4.0.0

Version 4.0 contains a rewrite of the build system and a refactor of the source code for IdleTimer. After accepting many pull requests, the projects code style was destroyed, so some forced styling was added and PRs that don't respect this style will not be accepted. Contribution guide now on the README.

🔥 Code Removal

• The property startOnLoad has been renamed to startOnMount to make more sense in a react context.
• The property activeAction has been renamed to onActive.
• The property idleAction has been renamed to onIdle.

✨ Enhancements

• Add passive property. Defaults to true, bind events with passive mode enabled.
• Add capture property. Defaults to true, bind events with capture mode enabled.
• Pass event through to onActive callback functions.

🐞 Bug Fixes

• Fixed installation bug on windows machines. This was due to the use of environment variables in the build scripts. The new build system does not rely on environment variables defined at the cli level

3.0.0

Dropped support for date formatting in version 3. IdleTimer returns raw date objects and you can use which ever library you like to format it. If you would like to continue using the built in formatter, stick with version 2.

🔥 Breaking Changes

2.0.0

⚡️ Features

• Add support for server side rendering.

1.0.0

🚀 Genesis

Initial release.
