Check if the browser tab is in focus in ReactJS

Question

I have a website in ReactJS. I want to get a callback whenever my tab comes in focus or is hidden. I came across the Page Visibility API for this but I\'m not able to figure out

Found this library. It could be of help... https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-page-visibility Here's how I would use it to solve your problem

import React from 'react;
import PageVisibility from 'react-page-visibility';

class YourComponent extends React.Component {
    state = {
      isWindowInFocus: true,
    }
    componentDidMount() {
      const { isWindowInFocus } = this.props;
      if (!isWindowInFocus) {
        // do something
      }
    }

    listentoWindow = isVisible => {
      this.setState({
        isWindowInFocus: isVisible,
      });
    }
    render() {
      return (
        
          

           Your component JSX
          
        
      );
    }
}
