Javascript - Timer countdown Angular 2

Creating a countdown timer in Angular 2+ involves setting up a component that updates its state every second until a specified end time is reached. Here's a step-by-step guide to implementing a countdown timer in Angular:

Step 1: Setup Angular Environment

Assuming you have Angular CLI installed, create a new component using:

ng generate component CountdownTimer

Step 2: Implement Countdown Timer Component

Open countdown-timer.component.ts and implement the countdown logic:

import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-countdown-timer', templateUrl: './countdown-timer.component.html', styleUrls: ['./countdown-timer.component.css'] }) export class CountdownTimerComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy { endTime: Date = new Date(); // Initialize with desired end time timeLeft: number; interval: any; constructor() { } ngOnInit(): void { // Example: Set end time 30 minutes from now this.endTime = new Date(); this.endTime.setMinutes(this.endTime.getMinutes() + 30); // Start countdown immediately this.startCountdown(); } ngOnDestroy(): void { // Clean up interval on component destroy clearInterval(this.interval); } startCountdown(): void { // Update countdown every second this.interval = setInterval(() => { const now = new Date().getTime(); const distance = this.endTime.getTime() - now; // Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds this.timeLeft = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); // If the countdown is over, display '0' if (distance < 0) { clearInterval(this.interval); this.timeLeft = 0; } }, 1000); } }

Step 3: HTML Template

Open countdown-timer.component.html and display the countdown:

<div> <h2>Countdown Timer</h2> <p>Time left: {{ timeLeft }}</p> </div>

Step 4: Styling (Optional)

Open countdown-timer.component.css to add custom styles.

Step 5: Use the Countdown Timer Component

Include <app-countdown-timer></app-countdown-timer> in any component's template where you want to display the countdown timer.

Explanation

  • endTime: Represents the end time for the countdown. Set it to a future date/time when the countdown should end.
  • timeLeft: Holds the remaining time in seconds or minutes.
  • interval: Stores the reference to the interval function for clearing it on component destroy.
  • ngOnInit(): Initializes the endTime and starts the countdown immediately.
  • startCountdown(): Starts the countdown timer using setInterval() to update timeLeft every second. It calculates the remaining time (distance) in milliseconds and updates timeLeft accordingly.
  • ngOnDestroy(): Clears the interval when the component is destroyed to avoid memory leaks.

Adjustments

  • Modify endTime to suit your specific requirements.
  • Enhance the display format (days, hours, minutes, seconds) in startCountdown() as per your needs.
  • Add error handling and edge case management based on your application requirements.

By following these steps, you can implement a simple countdown timer in Angular that updates in real-time until a specified end time. Adjust the logic and presentation according to your application's design and functionality requirements.

Examples

  1. Angular 2 Timer Countdown Component Description: Implement a basic timer countdown component in Angular 2+.

    import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-timer', template: ` <div>{{ countdown }}</div> ` }) export class TimerComponent implements OnInit { @Input() duration: number = 60; // Countdown duration in seconds countdown: number; ngOnInit() { this.startTimer(); } startTimer() { this.countdown = this.duration; const interval = setInterval(() => { if (this.countdown > 0) { this.countdown--; } else { clearInterval(interval); // Handle timer completion } }, 1000); } }
    • Usage: This Angular component creates a countdown timer that decrements every second until it reaches zero.

  2. Angular 2 Countdown Timer with Pause and Resume Description: Implement a countdown timer with pause and resume functionality in Angular 2+.

    import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-timer', template: ` <div>{{ countdown }}</div> <button (click)="toggleTimer()">{{ timerRunning ? 'Pause' : 'Resume' }}</button> ` }) export class TimerComponent implements OnInit { @Input() duration: number = 60; // Countdown duration in seconds countdown: number; timerRunning: boolean = true; interval: any; ngOnInit() { this.startTimer(); } startTimer() { this.countdown = this.duration; this.interval = setInterval(() => { if (this.timerRunning && this.countdown > 0) { this.countdown--; } if (this.countdown === 0) { clearInterval(this.interval); // Handle timer completion } }, 1000); } toggleTimer() { this.timerRunning = !this.timerRunning; if (this.timerRunning) { this.startTimer(); } else { clearInterval(this.interval); } } }
    • Usage: Enhances the previous example by adding a button to pause and resume the countdown timer.

  3. Angular 2 Countdown Timer with Display Format Description: Implement a countdown timer with a formatted display (MM) in Angular 2+.

    import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-timer', template: ` <div>{{ displayTime }}</div> ` }) export class TimerComponent implements OnInit { @Input() duration: number = 60; // Countdown duration in seconds displayTime: string; ngOnInit() { this.startTimer(); } startTimer() { let seconds = this.duration; const interval = setInterval(() => { const minutes = Math.floor(seconds / 60); const remainingSeconds = seconds % 60; this.displayTime = `${minutes}:${remainingSeconds < 10 ? '0' : ''}${remainingSeconds}`; if (seconds > 0) { seconds--; } else { clearInterval(interval); // Handle timer completion } }, 1000); } }
    • Usage: Formats the countdown timer to display minutes and seconds (MM:SS) in Angular 2+.

  4. Angular 2 Countdown Timer with Callback Description: Implement a countdown timer in Angular 2+ with a callback function on completion.

    import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-timer', template: ` <div>{{ countdown }}</div> ` }) export class TimerComponent implements OnInit { @Input() duration: number = 60; // Countdown duration in seconds countdown: number; ngOnInit() { this.startTimer(); } startTimer() { this.countdown = this.duration; const interval = setInterval(() => { if (this.countdown > 0) { this.countdown--; } else { clearInterval(interval); this.onTimerComplete(); // Callback function on timer completion } }, 1000); } onTimerComplete() { // Handle timer completion, e.g., notify user, trigger event, etc. console.log('Timer completed!'); } }
    • Usage: Adds a callback function (onTimerComplete) to execute upon countdown timer completion.

  5. Angular 2 Countdown Timer with Input Validation Description: Implement a countdown timer in Angular 2+ with input validation for non-numeric and negative values.

    import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-timer', template: ` <div *ngIf="errorMessage" class="error">{{ errorMessage }}</div> <div>{{ countdown }}</div> ` }) export class TimerComponent implements OnInit { @Input() duration: number = 60; // Countdown duration in seconds countdown: number; errorMessage: string; ngOnInit() { if (isNaN(this.duration) || this.duration <= 0) { this.errorMessage = 'Invalid duration. Please provide a positive numeric value.'; } else { this.startTimer(); } } startTimer() { this.countdown = this.duration; const interval = setInterval(() => { if (this.countdown > 0) { this.countdown--; } else { clearInterval(interval); // Handle timer completion } }, 1000); } }
    • Usage: Validates input (duration) to ensure it's a positive numeric value before starting the countdown timer.

  6. Angular 2 Countdown Timer with Styling Description: Implement a countdown timer in Angular 2+ with custom styling for visual representation.

    import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-timer', template: ` <div [ngClass]="{ 'timer': true, 'expired': countdown === 0 }">{{ countdown }}</div> `, styles: [` .timer { font-size: 2rem; text-align: center; padding: 10px; background-color: #f0f0f0; border: 1px solid #ccc; } .expired { color: red; } `] }) export class TimerComponent implements OnInit { @Input() duration: number = 60; // Countdown duration in seconds countdown: number; ngOnInit() { this.startTimer(); } startTimer() { this.countdown = this.duration; const interval = setInterval(() => { if (this.countdown > 0) { this.countdown--; } else { clearInterval(interval); // Handle timer completion } }, 1000); } }
    • Usage: Applies custom CSS styles to the countdown timer component for better visual presentation.
