React Time Tracker

Tracks time spent by user on a page in a web application or in a react mobile app developed using Apache Cordova.

ReactTimeTracker component gives your application complete control to track time. You can pause/resume the tracker at any point by just passing a prop, typical use case is when you have dialogs on a page and want to ignore the time spent on dialogs. When your component unmounts ReactTimeTracker calls the callback passed as a prop with the actual time spent by user by ignoring the time during which tracker was paused.

It supports Apache Cordova, if you have a mobile app just include this component and it will calculate time by managing when your app got paused/resumed without doing any additional configuration.

Install

npm

React Time Tracker can be bundled with the client using an npm-compatible packaging system such as webpack or Browserify.
