React SVG Timer

A React component to provide an SVG-based timer button with visual feedback of elapsed time.

This is an improved iteration of previous projects:

• Angular 1 directive
• Previous React version

All have their foundation in this fiddle.

Demo

Demo: markau.github.io/react-svg-timer

Installation

yarn add react-svg-timer or npm install react-svg-timer

Usage

The minimum declaration is:

import ReactSvgTimer from 'react-svg-timer';
 
<ReactSvgTimer timerCount={# seconds}/>

Properties

The component can take additional, optional props:

• countdownColor: string: the color of the countdown ring. Type can be hex, rgb, rgba - whatever an SVG can use.
• innerColor: string: the color of the inner circle ring.
• outerColor: string: the color of the outer ring.
• resetTimerRequested: bool: Whether the user has requested the timer be reset.
• resetTimer: func: A callback function to further handle the timer reset event.
• completeTimer: bool: Indicates whether the timer has reached the desired time.
• timerDuration: int: The elapsed duration in milliseconds.
• displayCountdown: bool: Shows/hides the numerical countdown.

A more complete implementation could therefore be:

 
// To keep track of the milliseconds elapsed
let timer = 0
let [resetRequested, setResetRequested] = useState(false)
let [timerIsComplete, setTimerIsComplete] = useState(false)
let [logMilliseconds, setLogMilliseconds] = useState(true)
 
onComplete(status) {
  setTimerIsComplete(status)
}
 
onReset() {
  setResetRequested(false)
}
 
timerValue(value) {
  timer = value;
  if (logMilliseconds) {
    console.log(value);
  }
}
 
onResetRequest() {
  setResetRequested(true)
  timer = 0;
}
 
return (
 
  <ReactSvgTimer
    timerCount={6}
    countdownColor="#00ffa8"
    innerColor="#fff"
    outerColor="#000"
    resetTimer={onReset}
    completeTimer={onComplete}
    resetTimerRequested={resetRequested}
    timerDuration={timerValue}
    displayCountdown={displayCountdown}
  />
 
)
 
 

The optional props are designed to provide flexibility for implementation. You can use the timer as a discrete component, and just listen for the timerComplete callback. Alternatively, for example, you could choose to hide the numerical display countdown with displayCountdown={false}, and use the timerDuration callback to provide your own numerical countdown.
