react-coming

React component rendering a simple page with a countdown timer.

Preview

Motivation

Sometimes, when we are working on a website or web application, we want to do deploy and show something to our users as quickly as possible. The react-coming library allows you to quickly render a view with a future date countdown. You can set this component to be enabled and rendered only for the production build, for example.

Installation

To install the hook you can use npm:

npm i react-coming

or Yarn if you prefer:

yarn add react-coming

Usage

All you need is simple import the component:

import { Coming } from 'react-coming';

And render the component:

import { render } from 'react-dom';
import { Coming } from 'react-coming';

render(
  <Coming enabled={process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'} toDate="YYYY-MM-DD">
    <App />
  </Coming>,
  document.getElementById('app')
);

When the countdown is over (0 seconds left) then the children prop will be rendered.

Children will also be rendered if you give a wrong date format.

Custom render component

If you want, you can pass customComponent prop to the Coming component to render your own component instead of the default countdown page.

Passed component will receive countdown data as props: days, hours, minutes, seconds.

You can use the countdown data to display inside your own component.
