  • Parameters:
    • config (object):
      • startValues (object or array): The initial values of the timer when it is started
        • Accepted Values: Object with some of this 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 timer to stop.
        • Accepted Values: Object with some of this 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.

• stop(): Stop the timer
• pause(): Pause the timer
• reset(): Reset the timer values
• addEventListener(eventType, callback): Add a lister to an event. Timer triggers events when is updated
  • Events triggered:
    • secondTenthsUpdated
    • secondsUpdated
    • minutesUpdated
    • hoursUpdated
    • daysUpdated
  • 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.
• removeEventListener(eventType, callback): Remove an event listener from the timer. Same usage than addEventListener.
• getTimeValues(): Return and object with the current values. The keys of the returned object are 'secondTenths', 'seconds', 'minutes', 'hours' and 'days'.
• getTotalTimeValues(): Return and object with the current absolute values. The keys of the returned object are 'secondTenths', 'seconds', 'minutes', 'hours' and 'days'.
