import { useTimer } from  "reactjs-countdown-hook";

const  Example = () => {

const {
isActive,
counter,
seconds,
minutes,
hours,
days,
pause,
resume,
reset,
} = useTimer(120, handleTimerFinish);

function  handleTimerFinish() {
	alert("times up!");
}

return (
<div>

	<div>{`${days} : ${hours} : ${minutes} : ${seconds}`}</div>
	<button  onClick={() => (isActive ? pause() : resume())}>
		{isActive ? "Pause" : "Resume"}
	</button>
	<button  onClick={reset}>Reset</button>

</div>

);

};
