The `core` module is responsible for:
- creating the [UI Layout][4],
- creating the [PageDown][5] editor,
- creating the [UI Layout][6],
- creating the [PageDown][7] editor,
- loading/saving the settings,
- running periodic tasks,
- detecting the user activity,
- checking the offline status.
##### Attributes:
**Attributes:**
- `isOffline`: indicates the offline status of the application.
- `core.isOffline`: indicates the offline status of the application.
##### Methods:
**Methods:**
- `core.onReady(callback)`: sets a callback to be called when all modules have been loaded and the DOM is ready.
> **NOTE:** This is preferred over [jQuery's `.ready()`][6] because it ensures that all AMD modules are loaded by [RequireJS][2]).
> **NOTE:** This is preferred over [jQuery's `.ready()`][8] because it ensures that all AMD modules are loaded by [RequireJS][9]).
- `runPeriodically(callback)`: sets a callback to be called every second.
- `core.runPeriodically(callback)`: sets a callback to be called every second.
> **NOTE:** The callback will not run if the user is inactive or in StackEdit Viewer. User is considered inactive after 5 minutes of inactivity (mouse or keyboard).
- `setOffline()`: can be called by any other modules when a network timeout occurs for instance.
> **NOTE:** the offline status is also set by detecting the window `offline` event. `isOffline` is automatically set to `false` when the network is recovered.
