Jquery countdown timer with setInterval

June 28, 2019 XpertPhp Comments 1 comment

Today, we will discuss about how to create a jQuery countdown timer with setInterval. why we use this timer? Generally, when we have given quiz exam at that time we use this timer, and that exam is arranged fix time.

Now, we will use the setInterval and getTime function in here below example. the setinterval function will call each 1 second and it will Update the count down every 1 second. The get getTime function will sets today date and time.

var timeout =1;
var countDownDate = new Date();
countDownDate.setMinutes(countDownDate.getMinutes()+timeout);
var timestamp = countDownDate.getTime();

if(localStorage.getItem("timestamp")==null)
{
	//store current time into local storage
    localStorage.setItem("timestamp",timestamp);
}


  var x = setInterval(function() {

  var now = new Date().getTime();
  // Find the distance between current time and store time
  var distance = localStorage.getItem("timestamp") - now;
    
  // Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
  var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
  var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));

var timeout =1;

var countDownDate = new Date();

countDownDate.setMinutes(countDownDate.getMinutes()+timeout);

var timestamp = countDownDate.getTime();

if(localStorage.getItem("timestamp")==null)

{

//store current time into local storage

localStorage.setItem("timestamp",timestamp);

}

var x = setInterval(function() {

var now = new Date().getTime();

// Find the distance between current time and store time

var distance = localStorage.getItem("timestamp") - now;

// Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds

var days = Math.floor(distance / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));

var hours = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));

var minutes = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));

var seconds = Math.floor((distance % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "<span class='btn btn-primary'> "+days + " Day </span> <span class='btn btn-success'>" + hours + " Hour </span> <span class='btn btn-info'>"

+ minutes + " Minute </span> <span class='btn btn-danger'>" + seconds + " Second </span>";

//check conditon of distance

if (distance < 0) {

clearInterval(x);

document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "<h2 class='label label-danger' style='font-size:25px;'>EXPIRED</h2>";

}

}, 1000);

</script>

</body>

In this example, We have already set 1 minute in timeout. whenever you run this example in a browser at that time we store the current timestamp in local storage. we will Find the distance between a current time and stored time. when we will get distance less than zero then it will be displayed expired message.
