I wanted to call onIdle() recursively. But when I run it, the function onIdle() is not defined. How can I call onIdle() inside onIdle()?

$(document).idle({
    onIdle: function(){
    
       console.log("number of active jQuery: " + jQuery.active);
    
       if (jQuery.active > 0) {
    
           // add set timeout
           setTimeout(wakeBrowser, 10);
    
           function wakeBrowser() {
               onIdle(); // onIdle is not defined
           }
    
          return;
        }
    }
}

    Consider creating the function outside the idle( call, and call it onIdle and then pass it to the idle call idle(onIdle)? Commented Jan 25, 2022 at 20:01
  • It's not recursive unless you are calling the function within the function Commented Jan 25, 2022 at 22:56

Just name the function when you define it, then use that name to call it recursively:

$(document).idle({
    onIdle: function myIdleFunc(){
    
       console.log("number of active jQuery: " + jQuery.active);
    
       if (jQuery.active > 0) {
    
           // add set timeout
           setTimeout(wakeBrowser, 10);
    
           function wakeBrowser() {
               myIdleFunc();
           }
    
          return;
        }
    }
}
