Resetting the timer manually about ng-idle

[moribvndvs]

$idle.watch() will reset state (both the idle state and the timers) and start a new time out. $idle.unwatch() will cancel all timeouts and stop running.

So, use watch if you want to start or reset, and unwatch if you want to pause or stop watching for idle.

Watch is the one you want.

I am not clear on how am I supposed to manually reset the timer so it wouldn't broadcast the $idleStart event?

Am I supposed to use:

$idle.watch();
or

$idle.unwatch();
$idle.watch();
or

$idleProvider.keepAlive();
or

$keepalive.ping();
// this one would probably need to be used in combination with a
// broadcast listener and one of the mentioned above?
Sorry if you feel this is a dumb question, but I'm just not clear which one of these should I use to reset the timer? What are the differences between them?

Thanks in advance

Thank a lot.

To be clear, if the user has timed out or you manually want to extend their session (because it is idle and in the warning/countdown phase), all you need is a single watch() call.

That was exactly what I needed, thanks. :)
