You can create a countdown timer in Laravel using JavaScript or a JavaScript library such as Moment.js.
Here is an example of how you could implement a countdown timer in Laravel using JavaScript:
- In your Blade template, add an element that will display the countdown timer. For example:
<div id="countdown"></div>Add a script tag to your template and use the setInterval function to update the countdown timer every second.
<script>
// Set the date we're counting down to
var countDownDate = new Date("Jan 5, 2023 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);
// Display the result in the element with id="countdown"
document.getElementById("countdown").innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h "
+ minutes + "m " + seconds + "s ";
// If the count down is finished, write some text
if (distance < 0) {
clearInterval(x);
document.getElementById("countdown").innerHTML = "EXPIRED";
}
}, 1000);
</script>
This example will create a countdown timer that displays the number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining until the specified date (in this case, January 5th, 2023). When the countdown is finished, the timer will display the text “EXPIRED”.
You can also use a library like Moment.js to simplify the process of creating a countdown timer. Moment.js provides a simple interface for working with dates and times in JavaScript, and it can be used to create a countdown timer with just a few lines of code.
For example, you could use Moment.js to create a countdown timer like this:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.24.0/moment.min.js"></script>
<script>
// Set the date we're counting down to
var countDownDate = moment("2023-01-05 15:37:25");
// Update the count down every 1 second
var x = setInterval(function() {
// Get todays date and time
var now = moment();
// Find the distance between now and the count down date
var distance = countDownDate.diff(now);
// Time calculations for days, hours, minutes and seconds
var days = moment.duration(distance).days();
var hours = moment.duration(distance).hours();
var minutes = moment.duration(distance).minutes();
var seconds = moment.duration(distance).seconds();
// Display the result in the element with id="countdown"
document.getElementById("countdown").innerHTML = days + "d " + hours + "h "
+ minutes + "m " + seconds + "s ";
// If the count down is finished, write some text
if (distance < 0) {
clearInterval(x);
document.getElementById("countdown").innerHTML = "EXPIRED";
}
}, 1000);
</script>
This example uses Moment.js to calculate the distance between the current date and time and the specified countdown date. It then calculates the number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining in the countdown and displays the result in the element with id “countdown”. When the countdown is finished, the timer will display the text “EXPIRED”.
