Auto logout with Angularjs based on idle user

Question

Is it possible to determine if a user is inactive and automatically log them out after say 10 minutes of inactivity using angularjs?

I was trying to avoid using jQue

I think Buu's digest cycle watch is genius. Thanks for sharing. As others have noted $interval also causes the digest cycle to run. We could for the purpose of auto logging the user out use setInterval which will not cause a digest loop.

app.run(function($rootScope) {
    var lastDigestRun = new Date();
    setInterval(function () {
        var now = Date.now();
        if (now - lastDigestRun > 10 * 60 * 1000) {
          //logout
        }
    }, 60 * 1000);

    $rootScope.$watch(function() {
        lastDigestRun = new Date();
    });
});
