Why another countdown ?

I developed this little library in a boring day. I regularly use this kind of Javascript's libraries to display countdowns on websites and this one exactly meets the needs that I have. It is perfect to make 'under construction' pages, etc.

This is a very (very) basic Javascript CountDown.

Getting Started

install via npm or bower

$ yarn add simplycountdown.js

// or

$ npm install simplycountdown.js

Insert simplyCountdown to your HTML

<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/simplyCountdown.theme.default.css"/>
<script src="dist/simplyCountdown.min.js"></script>
    // This is an example with default parameters

    simplyCountdown('[CSS-SELECTOR]', {
            year: 2019, // required
            month: 6, // required
            day: 28, // required
            hours: 0, // Default is 0 [0-23] integer
            minutes: 0, // Default is 0 [0-59] integer
            seconds: 0, // Default is 0 [0-59] integer
            words: { //words displayed into the countdown
                days: { singular: 'day', plural: 'days' },
                hours: { singular: 'hour', plural: 'hours' },
                minutes: { singular: 'minute', plural: 'minutes' },
                seconds: { singular: 'second', plural: 'seconds' }
            },
            plural: true, //use plurals
            inline: false, //set to true to get an inline basic countdown like : 24 days, 4 hours, 2 minutes, 5 seconds
            inlineClass: 'simply-countdown-inline', //inline css span class in case of inline = true
            // in case of inline set to false
            enableUtc: true, //Use UTC as default
            onEnd: function() { return; }, //Callback on countdown end, put your own function here
            refresh: 1000, // default refresh every 1s
            sectionClass: 'simply-section', //section css class
            amountClass: 'simply-amount', // amount css class
            wordClass: 'simply-word', // word css class
            zeroPad: false,
            countUp: false
    });

You can use it with jQuery too (not required)

// jQuery Example
$('[CSS-SELECTOR]').simplyCountdown({
    year: 2019, // required
    month: 6, // required
    day: 28, // required
    ...
});

Easy to customize

You can easly customize the countdown using the css theme starter file or create your own like so :

/!\ The following theme template works with default class in parameters.

   /*
   * Project : simply-countdown
   * File : simplyCountdown.theme.custom
   * Author : Your Name <your-mail[at]example.com>
   */

   .simply-countdown {
       /* The countdown */
   }
   .simply-countdown > .simply-section {
       /* coutndown blocks */
   }

   .simply-countdown > .simply-section > div {
       /* countdown block inner div */
   }

   .simply-countdown > .simply-section .simply-amount,
   .simply-countdown > .simply-section .simply-word {
       /* amounts and words */
   }

   .simply-countdown > .simply-section .simply-amount {
       /* amounts */
   }

   .simply-countdown > .simply-section .simply-word {
       /* words */
  }
