• javascript
• angularjs

• 2 Yes you can: developer.mozilla/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowTimers/… – K K Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 6:38
• 2 ng-idle module can help – Grundy Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 6:39
• 1 use setInterval is the best idea i hope – Rahul Kamboj Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 6:39
• 3 @RahulKamboj, setInteval will call a function again and again after certain interval. If it's meant to be invoked only once, then setTimeout is the one. Even that won't be useful in case of Angular as that function will be executed outside AngularJS context, so I think $timeout is the service he needs to use. – Arkantos Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 6:43
• 1 @Tech Kid, as Grundy suggested, ng-idle is the one that takes care of inactivity and provides callbacks to work with – Arkantos Commented Dec 31, 2015 at 6:45

Use below for any function that requires time out. But I will not suggest this for Logout. Better you can use browser session to logout after 30 min.

$timeout(function() {
   // your code
}, 3000); // 3 seconds

use setTimeout() pure javascript function that can be invoked after a time of interval

 setTimeout(function(){
    logout();
},5000)
