Install

Zip archive: Download

Browserify:

npm install hypnos

Bower:

bower install hypnos

##Overview

Live demo - should be checked on mobile.

Hypnos is a module for determination if device is sleeping. This may be used for cases when you need to know for sure, that device on which code is executing is currently working (most probably these are the cases with repetitive actions taking place or some time-driven queue).

Hypnos is making assumptions basing on setTimeout behaviour in javascript. It calls a setTimeout function with a certain delay and writes down the time of the call. In case when difference between call time, the time of callback execution and the error exceeds the error value, true is being returned.

Ergo, callback will not be executed until browser takes control of the device.

The main targets of module were mobile devices but with careful tuning it may also work for desktop as well.

Note: There is also a possibility of performing similar action with help of Page Visibility API but it lacks support in most mobile browsers.

###Usage

Hypnos may be used without any modular system:

<script src="./hypnos.js"></script>
<script>
	var hypnos = new Hypnos();
</script>

With help of browserify:

	var Hypnos = require('hypnos');
	var hypnos = new Hypnos();

Or AMD style (RequireJS):

	define(['hypnos'], function(Hypnos))
	var hypnos = new Hypnos();

The actual usage:

	hypnos.isSleeping(function(isSleeping){
		if (isSleeping){
			setFireToTheRain();
		}
	});

###API

• constructor (Object options) - creates a Hypnos instance. May be called with one optional parameters - options object.

• options (Object options) - gets or sets options object. If options object is provided, sets it, otherwise - returns the current options object.

• isSleeping (Function callback) - checks whether device is sleeping. Accepts callback which will be executed when device is awake. Callback accepts one parameter isSleeping Boolean which shows if device was sleeping.

###Options

• delay Int - delay of setTimeout function for time checking. Default 200.
• error Int - the value of error possible for setTimeout. Default 200.

##Contributing Feel free to open issues and send PRs, though make sure that you create tests for new functionality and amend ones for fixes and changes.

Running tests

Tests are not covering the actual functionality due to complexity of their implementation but at least they cover passing parameters, options generation etc. Run npm test in order to see test results.
