I used the snippet below to create a countdown timer.
<script>
// Set the date we're counting down to
var countDownDate = new Date("Jan 5, 2024 15:37:25").getTime();
// Update the count down every 1 second
var x = setInterval(function() {
// Get today's date and time
var now = new Date().getTime();
// Find the distance between now and the count down date
var distance = countDownDate - 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);
// Output the result in an element with id="demo"
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h " +
minutes + "m " + seconds + "s ";
// If the count down is over, write some text
if (distance < 0) {
clearInterval(x);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "EXPIRED";
}
}, 1000);
</script>
How do I set the output (display) like so:
If the remaining time is still above 1 month, then display only the month.
If the remaining time is under 1 month, then display only days,
If the remaining time is below 24 hours, display the hours and minutes
If the remaining time is below 1 hour, display the minutes and seconds.
Thanks
first add a calculation for number of months left then add a function that limits the times like so
const displayRemaining = () => {
if (/* there are months remaining */) return months + " months";
if (/* there are days remaining */) return days + " days";
if (/* there are hours remaining */) return hours + " hours";
if (/* there are days remaining */) return minutes + ":" + seconds + " m:s";
return "you have gone back in time or smth idk";
}
