Is it possible to create a countdown timer?

I can get it to count down how many days or how many hours how many minutes individually. That works great.

But I get "Projected opening in 3 Days, 70 Hours and 4252 Minutes"

I need it broken to be "Projected opening in 3 Days, 22 Hours and 52 Minutes"

Possible somehow?

Hi Brad,
Yes that is possible.
I will show this with a static date, but if it comes from a db, it is the same, just replace the date with the database value.

1. Create a datetime component and set its interval to seconds:

2. Days would be:

{{(var1.datetime.secondsUntil("2018-09-14") / 86400).floor()}}

3. Hours:

{{((var1.datetime.secondsUntil("2018-09-14") / 3600) % 24).floor()}}

4. Minutes

 {{((var1.datetime.secondsUntil("2018-09-14") / 60) % 60).floor()}}

Oh man, I was so close in the things I was trying! Thanks!

I have the following code and I would like to hide it once the days hit 0. Possible?

<div>
Next Up: 'Next Up: 'The Woman In Black' opens in {{todaysDate.datetime.daysUntil("2017-10-25")}} days!
</div>

Hahaha, I was way over thinking it ...... was easier than I thought. This works nicely.

<div dmx-show="todaysDate.datetime <= &quot;2017-10-25&quot;">
Next Up: 'The Woman In Black' opens in {{todaysDate.datetime.daysUntil("2017-10-25")}} days!
</div>

Yes, it's definitely possible to create a countdown timer that breaks down the remaining time correctly. Here's a simple way to do this in most programming languages:

• [list]
• [*]Calculate the total time difference in seconds.
[/*]
• [*]Convert the seconds to days, hours, and minutes.
[/*]

Here’s a basic example in JavaScript:

javascript Code

function countdown(endTime) {
    const now = new Date().getTime();
    const timeRemaining = endTime - now;

    const days = Math.floor(timeRemaining / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
    const hours = Math.floor((timeRemaining % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
    const minutes = Math.floor((timeRemaining % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
    
    return `Projected opening in ${days} Days, ${hours} Hours, and ${minutes} Minutes`;
}

// Set your end time here (e.g., new Date("2024-12-31T23:59:59").getTime())
const endTime = new Date("2024-12-31T23:59:59").getTime();

console.log(countdown(endTime));

This code will correctly calculate and format the remaining time. Just set the endTime variable to your desired end date and time.

If you’re doing this in a different programming language, the logic remains the same:

• Calculate the total time remaining in seconds.
• Extract days by dividing by the number of seconds in a day.
• Extract hours from the remainder of the days calculation.
• Extract minutes from the remainder of the hours calculation.

You can find a similar countdown example on this website, which shows countdown till specific dates and days( Example: How many days till may 23) I'm sure they are using the same logic.

Feel free to adapt this logic to your specific programming environment!

Yes, it's definitely possible to create io games timer that correctly formats the time remaining into days, hours, and minutes without exceeding the conventional limits (i.e., 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour).
