import React from 'react';
import { useTimer } from 'use-timer';
const App = () => {
const { time, start, pause, reset, status } = useTimer();
return (
<>
<div>
<button onClick={start}>Start</button>
<button onClick={pause}>Pause</button>
<button onClick={reset}>Reset</button>
</div>
<p>Elapsed time: {time}</p>
{status === 'RUNNING' && <p>Running...</p>}
</>
);
};
const { time, start, pause, reset, status } = useTimer({
initialTime: 100,
timerType: 'DECREMENTAL',
});
const { time, start, pause, reset, status } = useTimer({
endTime: 30,
initialTime: 10,
});
This works for all types of timer (incremental and decremental).
const { time, start, advanceTime } = useTimer({
initialTime: 20,
});
start();
advanceTime(10);
console.log(time); // 30
Some callback functions can be provided.
const { time, start, pause, reset, status } = useTimer({
endTime,
onTimeOver: () => {
console.log('Time is over');
},
});
const { time, start, pause, reset, status } = useTimer({
endTime,
onTimeUpdate: (time) => {
console.log('Time is updated', time);
},
});
The configuration and all its parameters are optional.
