Inspired by jquery-sessionTimeout-bootstrap by maxfierke
There have been a number of major upgrades. For example, as long as the user is doing something on the page, he will never get a timeout. The original plugin launched a timeout warning dialog in a fixed amount of time regardless of user activity. See description and documentation for more information.
You can easily upgrade from jquery-sessionTimeout-bootstrap to bootstrap-session-timeout, since the basic options have been inherited from jquery-sessionTimeout-bootstrap and have not been renamed.
After a set amount of idle time, a Bootstrap warning dialog is shown to the user with the option to either log out, or stay connected. If "Logout" button is selected, the page is redirected to a logout URL. If "Stay Connected" is selected the dialog closes and the session is kept alive. If no option is selected after another set amount of idle time, the page is automatically redirected to a set timeout URL.
Idle time is defined as no mouse, keyboard or touch event activity registered by the browser.
As long as the user is active, the (optional) keep-alive URL keeps getting pinged and the session stays alive. If you have no need to keep the server-side session alive via the keep-alive URL, you can also use this plugin as a simple lock mechanism that redirects to your lock-session or log-out URL after a set amount of idle time.

title
Type: String
Default: 'Your session is about to expire!'
This is the text shown to user via Bootstrap warning dialog after warning period. (modal title)
message
Type: String
Default: 'Your session is about to expire.'
This is the text shown to user via Bootstrap warning dialog after warning period.
logoutButton
Type: String
Default: 'Logout'
This is the text shown to user via Bootstrap warning dialog after warning period in the logout button.
keepAliveButton
Type: String
Default: 'Stay Connected'
This is the text shown to user via Bootstrap warning dialog after warning period in the Kepp Alive button.
keepAliveUrl
Type: String
Default: '/keep-alive'
URL to ping via AJAX POST to keep the session alive. This resource should do something innocuous that would keep the session alive, which will depend on your server-side platform.
keepAlive
Type: Boolean
Default: true
If true, the plugin keeps pinging the keepAliveUrl for as long as the user is active. The time between two pings is set by the keepAliveInterval option. If you have no server-side session timeout to worry about, feel free to set this one to false to prevent unnecessary network activity.
keepAliveInterval
Type: Integer
Default: 5000 (5 seconds)
Time in milliseconds between two keep-alive pings.
ajaxType
Type: String
Default: 'POST'
If you need to specify the ajax method
ajaxData
Type: String
Default: ''
If you need to send some data via AJAX POST to your keepAliveUrl, you can use this option.
redirUrl
Type: String
Default: '/timed-out'
URL to take browser to if no action is take after the warning.
logoutUrl
Type: String
Default: '/log-out'
URL to take browser to if user clicks "Logout" on the Bootstrap warning dialog.
warnAfter
Type: Integer
Default: 900000 (15 minutes)
Time in milliseconds after page is opened until warning dialog is opened.
redirAfter
Type: Integer
Default: 1200000 (20 minutes)
Time in milliseconds after page is opened until browser is redirected to redirUrl.
ignoreUserActivity
Type: Boolean
Default: false
If true, this will launch the Bootstrap warning dialog / redirect (or callback functions) in a set amounts of time regardless of user activity. This in turn makes the plugin act much like the jquery-sessionTimeout-bootstrap by maxfierke plugin.
onWarn
Type: Function or Boolean
Default: false
Custom callback you can use instead of showing the Bootstrap warning dialog.
Redirect action will still occur unless you also add the onRedir callback.
onRedir
Type: Function or Boolean
Default: false
Custom callback you can use instead of redirectiong the user to redirUrl.
Basic Usage
Shows the warning dialog after one minute. The dialog is visible for another minute. If user takes no action (interacts with the page in any way), browser is redirected to redirUrl. On any user action (mouse, keyboard or touch) the timeout timer is reset. Of course, you will still need to close the dialog.
$.sessionTimeout({
message: 'Your session will be locked in one minute.',
keepAliveUrl: 'keep-alive.html',
logoutUrl: 'login.html',
redirUrl: 'locked.html',
warnAfter: 60000,
redirAfter: 120000
});With onWarn Callback
Shows the "Warning!" alert after one minute. If user takes no action (interacts with the page in any way), after one more minute the browser is redirected to redirUrl. On any user action (mouse, keyboard or touch) the timeout timer is reset.
$.sessionTimeout({
redirUrl: 'locked.html',
warnAfter: 60000,
redirAfter: 120000,
onWarn: function{
alert('Warning!');
}
});With both onWarn and onRedir Callback
Console logs the "Your session will soon expire!" text after one minute. If user takes no action (interacts with the page in any way), after two more minutes the "Your session has expired!" alert gets shown. No redirection occurs. On any user action (mouse, keyboard or touch) the timeout timer is reset.
$.sessionTimeout({
warnAfter: 60000,
redirAfter: 180000,
onWarn: function{
console.log('Your session will soon expire!');
},
onRedir: function{
alert('Your session has expired!');
}
