## Installation

Using npm:

```

Using yarn:

```sh

$ yarn add react-countdown-hook

```

## Quick Start

```javascript

import React from 'react';

import useCountDown from 'react-countdown-hook';

const initialTime = 60 * 1000; // initial time in milliseconds, defaults to 60000

const interval = 1000; // interval to change remaining time amount, defaults to 1000

const render = () => {

  const [timeLeft, { start, pause, resume, reset }] = useCountDown(initialTime, interval);

  

  // start the timer during the first render

  React.useEffect(() => {

    start();

  }, []);

  

  const restart = React.useCallback(() => {

    // you can start existing timer with an arbitrary value

    // if new value is not passed timer will start with initial value

    const newTime = 42 * 1000;

    start(newTime);

  }, []);

 

  return (

    <>

      
Time left: {timeLeft}

 

      

        Restart counter with 42 seconds

      

    >
