My Scenario is:

I want to call the logout function after let says 30 mins automatically in my app. Is this possible to achieve this? And moreover, I want to know the time of the user's last interactivity with my application. Can anybody help me regarding this??

    [ng-idle](http://ngmodules.org/modules/ng-idle) module can help – Grundy Dec 31 '15 at 06:39

    use setInterval is the best idea i hope – Rahul Kamboj Dec 31 '15 at 06:39

    @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 Dec 31 '15 at 06:43

    @Tech Kid, as Grundy suggested, `ng-idle` is the one that takes care of inactivity and provides callbacks to work with – Arkantos Dec 31 '15 at 06:45

    See this answer -- [Try ng-idle. It's simple component where you can set the timeout and warning time before the timeout is reached](http://stackoverflow.com/a/29154182/5535245). – georgeawg Dec 31 '15 at 08:23

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)

  • Is this call a function once or call repeately after 5000 miliseconds ? – Tech Kid Dec 31 '15 at 06:47

    In case your `logout()` changes something on scope, the this won't work. You have to wrap the call to logout in `$scope.apply()` or use `$timeout` that does this implicitly – Arkantos Dec 31 '15 at 06:52
