Change idle duration at runtime in AngularJS Ng-Idle

Question

I am using ng-idle to detect inactivity.

The idleDuration is set like so:

.config(function($idleProvider, $keepaliveProvider) {
            // configure $idle settings
            $idleProvider.idleDuration(5); // in seconds
            $idleProvider.warningDuration(5); // in seconds
            $keepaliveProvider.interval(2); // in seconds
        })

How can I change it at runtime in a controller or in a service?

It is possible to inject the $idle service like so:

.controller('EventsCtrl', function($scope, $idle)

Unforunately $idle does not have a property for changing the idleDuration.

As per v1.0.0, Idle.setIdle() can change the configuration value at any time.

I know i'm answering late...

In older versions v1.0.0 Idle time cannot be change at the run-time, once it is initialized using IdleProvider.idle(seconds).

But in version v1.0.0 he provided new api to change config value at rum-time using Idle.setIdle(seconds)

Note: Seconds should be integer value. By default Idle time will be 20 mins

How can I change timeout in minutes instead of seconds? – sathish kumar Jun 24 '19 at 07:47
For example if you want timeout for 50mins, change code to Idle.setIdle(50 * 60) – Pradeep Aug 12 '19 at 10:53
