        <p>Timer Demo</p>
        <div>
            <span>{{timer.days}}</span>:<span>{{timer.hours}}</span>:<span>{{timer.minutes}}</span>:<span>{{timer.seconds}}</span>

</template>


<script setup lang="ts">
import {  watchEffect, onMounted } from "vue";
import { useTimer } from 'vue-timer-hook';

const time = new Date();
time.setSeconds(time.getSeconds() + 600); // 10 minutes timer
const timer = useTimer(time);
const restartFive = () => {
    // Restarts to 5 minutes timer
    const time = new Date();
    time.setSeconds(time.getSeconds() + 300);
    timer.restart(time);
}
onMounted(() => {
  watchEffect(async () => {
    if(timer.isExpired.value) {
        console.warn('IsExpired')
    }
  })
})
</script>

Settings

key Type Required Description
expiryTimestamp number(timestamp) YES this will define for how long the timer will be running
autoStart boolean No flag to decide if timer should start automatically, by default it is set to true

Values

key Type Description
seconds number seconds value
minutes number minutes value
hours number hours value
days number days value
isRunning boolean flag to indicate if timer is running or not
pause function function to be called to pause timer
start function function if called after pause the timer will continue based on original expiryTimestamp
resume function function if called after pause the timer will continue countdown from last paused state
restart function function to restart timer with new expiryTimestamp, accept 2 arguments first is the new expiryTimestamp of type number(timestamp) and second is autoStart of type boolean to decide if it should automatically start after restart or not, default is true

useStopwatch - Demo

Example

<template>
    <div>
        <h1>vue-timer-hook </h1>
        <p>Stopwatch Demo</p>
        <div>
            <span>{{stopwatch.days}}</span>:<span>{{stopwatch.hours}}</span>:<span>{{stopwatch.minutes}}</span>:<span>{{stopwatch.seconds}}</span>
        </div>
        <p>{{stopwatch.isRunning ? 'Running' : 'Not running'}}</p>
        <button @click="stopwatch.start()">Start</button>
        <button @click="stopwatch.pause()">Pause</button>
        <button @click="stopwatch.reset()">Reset</button>
    </div>
</template>


<script setup lang="ts">
import { defineComponent } from "vue";
import { useStopwatch } from 'vue-timer-hook';

const autoStart = true;
const stopwatch = useStopwatch(autoStart);
</script>

Settings

key Type Required Description
autoStart boolean No if set to true stopwatch will auto start, by default it is set to false
offsetTimestamp number No this will define the initial stopwatch offset example: const stopwatchOffset = new Date(); stopwatchOffset.setSeconds(stopwatchOffset.getSeconds() + 300); this will result in a 5 minutes offset and stopwatch will start from 0:0:5:0 instead of 0:0:0:0

Values

key Type Description
seconds number seconds value
minutes number minutes value
hours number hours value
days number days value
isRunning boolean flag to indicate if stopwatch is running or not
start function function to be called to start/resume stopwatch
pause function function to be called to pause stopwatch
reset function function to be called to reset stopwatch to 0:0:0:0, you can also pass offset parameter to this function to reset stopwatch with offset, similar to how offsetTimestamp will offset the initial stopwatch time, this function will accept also a second argument which will decide if stopwatch should automatically start after reset or not default is true
