Pause When Window Not in Focus

I want to run myPixi.ticker.stop() when the window loses focus in any way, eg minimize, click a different tab or even closing the window.

Q: Is there a javascript event that covers all the possibilities?

Q2: Is there a javascript event that covers all possible methods of a window regaining focus, eg a return from minimize, reclicking the tab etc?

Indeed, RequestAnimationFrame will stop when the the browser things it's not worth rendering anything to the window because it's minimized.

There is however the Page Visibility API to detect this event (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibility_API) - This could be useful to pause sounds when you know the game has become not visible, or to put up a pause menu if you wish
