The time a user can remain idle before the session is terminated and the user must log in again is called 'session timeout'. Here we will extend the session timeout after each click on React. 


Session timeout represents the event occurring when we don't perform any action on a website during an interval. If the timeout occurs, a task timed out or undergone a timeout is considered failed or incomplete. The device that made the initial data request from another device will give up on waiting for that information to be sent when a timeout occurs for the user. The session timeout's advantage is that it ensures that sessions close when they are no longer in use, preventing unauthorized access and reducing exposure to data breaches. 


The method that calls a function or runs some code after some time is specified using the second argument, and this method schedules a one-time callback after the specified time in milliseconds. This method allows us to return an identifier for the timeout event, and we can use the ID to cancel the schedule callback function with the clearTimeout() method in React. This method is used to register the function provided as a parameter to be executed after some provided milliseconds by the user. 


Here is an example of how you can extend the timeout after each click on React:

Code

In this solution we're using React library.

const Test = () => {
    const [message, setMessage] = React.useState("-");
    const timeoutIdRef = React.useRef();
    const handleClick = () => {
        setMessage("Clicked");
        clearTimeout(timeoutIdRef.current);
        timeoutIdRef.current = setTimeout(() => {
            setMessage("-");
        }, 1000);
    };
    // cleanup, if desired
    // React.useEffect(() => clearTimeout(timeoutIdRef.current), []);
    return (
        <article>
            <header>
                {message}
            </header>
            <button onClick={handleClick}>button</button>
        </article>
    );
}

ReactDOM.render(<Test />, document.querySelector('.react'));
<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react@16/umd/react.development.js"></script>
<script crossorigin src="https://unpkg.com/react-dom@16/umd/react-dom.development.js"></script>
<div class='react'></div>

Instructions

Follow the steps carefully to get the output easily.

  1. Install the Node.js and React on your IDE(preferable Visual Studio Code).
  2. Create React Application using npx create-react-app foldername.
  3. cd foldername.
  4. Open the folder in IDE.
  5. Copy the code using "copy" button above and paste it in index.js file(remove the earlier code from index.js) then paste the script tag in index.html file.
  6. Import React and ReactDOM in index.js file.
  7. Open the terminal from IDE.
  8. npm start to run the file.


I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.


I found this code snippet by searching for 'how to extend timeout after each click on react' in kandi. You can try any such use case!

Environment Tested

I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.

  1. The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
  2. The solution is tested on node v18.12.1 and npm v8.19.2.
  3. React version-18.2.0.


Using this solution, we are able to extend the timeout after each click on React with simple steps. This process also facilities an easy way to use, hassle-free method to create a hands-on working version of code which would help us to extend the timeout after each click on React.
