## `ic-pause-polling` - The Pause Polling Attribute

### Summary

The `ic-pause-polling` attribute tells Intercooler to not poll in the presence of an `ic-poll` attribute. This can be used to implement a Pause/Play UI.

### Syntax

The value of the attribute should be `true` or `false`

### Dependencies

`ic-pause-polling` has no dependency implications.

### Example

Here is a simple Pause/Play UI that starts in a paused state, and can be started by clicking the play button:

      <div ic-prepend-from="/poll" ic-poll="1s" ic-target="#content" ic-pause-polling="true">
        <div>
          <div class="btn btn-default" ic-post-to="/play"><i class="fa fa-play"></i></div>
          <div class="btn btn-default" ic-post-to="/pause"><i class="fa fa-pause"></i></div>
        </div>
        <div id="content" ic-limit-children="5">
        </div>
      </div>
