## `ic-disable-when-doc-inactive` - Disable When Document Hidden Attribute

### Summary

The `ic-disable-when-doc-inactive` attribute tells Intercooler to not to issue a given request if the document does not have focus, as determined by the `document.hasFocus()` property. This allows you to pause polling, for example, when a document is not focused. If you wish for polling to occur even if the window is inactive (but still potentially visible), consider using the `ic-disable-when-document-hidden` attribute instead.

### Syntax

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

### Dependencies

`ic-disable-when-doc-inactive` has no dependency implications.
