Easy to use Timer/Chronometer/Countdown library compatible with AMD and NodeJS

## Install

### NPM

```
npm install easytimer.js --save
```

### Bower

```
bower install easytimer.js
```

## Library Load

### Script

```html

var timerInstance = new easytimer.Timer();

```

### Node

```js
var Timer = require("easytimer.js").Timer;
var timerInstance = new Timer();

// or

var { Timer } = require("easytimer.js");
var timerInstance = new Timer();
```

### ES6 / Typescript Imports

```js
import Timer from "easytimer.js";
const timer = new Timer();

// or

import { Timer } from "easytimer.js";
const timer = new Timer();
```

### AMD

```js
require(["node_modules/easytimer.js/dist/easytimer.min.js"], function (
easytimer
) {
var timer = new easytimer.Timer();
});

// or

require(["node_modules/easytimer.js/dist/easytimer.min.js"], function ({
Timer,
}) {
var timer = new Timer();
});
```

## Examples

## Basic Usage

```js
var timer = new Timer(/* default config */);
timer.start(/* config */);
timer.addEventListener("secondsUpdated", function (e) {
$("#basicUsage").html(timer.getTimeValues().toString());
});
```

## React

If you want to use EasyTimer with React, you can use the EasyTimer React Hook. You can check out the hook documentation here:

## Timer instance API

- start(config): Start the timer
- Parameters:
- config (object):
- startValues (object or array): The initial values of the timer when it is started
- Accepted Values: Object with some of these keys: 'secondTenths', 'seconds', 'minutes', 'hours', 'days'. Or an array with this 5 positions: [secondTenths, seconds, minutes, hours, days]
- Default Value (object or array): [0,0,0,0,0]
- target (object or array): The target values that will make the timer to stop.
- Accepted Values: Object with some of these keys: 'secondTenths', 'seconds', 'minutes', 'hours', 'days'. Or an array with this 5 positions: [secondTenths, seconds, minutes, hours, days]
- Default Value: Undefined
- precision (string): The timer update frequency.
- Accepted Values: 'secondTenths', 'seconds', 'minutes', 'hours'
- Default value: 'seconds'
- callback (function): A callback function executed every time the timer is updated. The callback receives the timer as a parameter.
- countdown (bool): If true, the timer is a countdown.
- You can pass this same config when a Timer instance is created. For example: `new Timer({ target: { seconds: 10 } })`.
This default config will be merged with the config passed to the start function.
- stop(): Stop the timer
- pause(): Pause the timer. After pause, you can call the start method without parameters to resume the timer.
- reset(): Reset the timer values
- isRunning(): Returns true if the timer is currently running.
- isPaused(): Returns true if the timer is paused.
- addEventListener(eventType, callback): Add a listener to an event. Timer triggers events when is updated
- Events triggered:
- secondTenthsUpdated
- secondsUpdated
- minutesUpdated
- hoursUpdated
- daysUpdated
- targetAchieved
- stopped
- reset
- started
- paused
- Parameters:
- eventType (string): The type of the event that you want to listen.
- callback (function): Function that will be executed when the timer triggers the specified event. The callback receives an object with the timer as a parameter.
- on(eventType, callback): addEventListener alias.
- removeEventListener(eventType, callback): Removes an event listener from the timer. Same usage as addEventListener.
- off(eventType, callback): removeEventListener alias.
- removeAllEventListeners(eventType): Removes all events listeners for the given type. If no type is given it will remove all event listeners.
- getTimeValues(): Returns an object with the current values. The keys of the returned object are 'secondTenths', 'seconds', 'minutes', 'hours' and 'days'.
- getTotalTimeValues(): Returns an object with the current absolute values. The keys of the returned object are 'secondTenths', 'seconds', 'minutes', 'hours' and 'days'.
- getConfig(): Returns the configuration parameters.

## Browser Support

Easytimer uses dispatchEvent, and this feature is available in these Browsers:

- Chrome (version >= 4)
- Firefox (version >= 2)
- IE (version >= 9)
- Opera (version >= 9)
- Safari (version >= 3)
- Mobile browsers

## Known Issues

This library uses the Date class to calculate timer values. Date uses the system clock. If this clock is changed to a
different date while the timer is running the timer values will be incorrect after that. If you know a way to fix that
without losing time precision, please collaborate!
