time-counter
Dead simple count down or count up timer for node and in browser using clientmodules or browserify.
For a standalone version that bundles required modules just use time-counter.bundled.js
.
This isn't meant to be scientifically amazingly perfect. Because we're just looping and comparing with a start time at a set interval. This approach is a bit flawed because it's impacted by the event loop, etc. But it's good enough for the vast majority of regular web app uses.
Install
npm install time-counter
How it works
// creating a count up timervar Timer = log = consolelog; var countUpTimer = ; // log out time, could also be used to // write to DOM of course.countUpTimer; // start itcountUpTimerstart; // creating a countdown timervar countDown = direction: 'down' startValue: '1:00' // one minute ; // log it out every time it's updatedcountDown; countDown;
Available options
Default values shown:
direction: 'up' // can also be 'down' startValue: 0 // starting point, useful for 'down' but works for up too targetValue: '' // i.e. "1:00:00" is one hour, shoudl be in format: hours:minutes:seconds interval: 50 // how fast to run the loop and determine if the time has changed showHours: false // whether or not to show hours if they're empty
Building
