how to create a countdown timer in javascript code example

Example 1: timer in javascript

//single event i.e. alarm, time in milliseconds
var timeout = setTimeout(function(){yourFunction()},10000);
//repeated events, gap in milliseconds
var interval = setInterval(function(){yourFunction()},1000);

Example 2: countdown in javascript

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
   <head>
      <meta charset="UTF-8" />
      <title>Countdown timer using HTML and JavaScript</title>
   </head>
   <body>
      Registration closes in <span id="timer">05:00<span> minutes!

      <!-- custom js -->
      <script>
         window.onload = function () {
            var minute = 5;
            var sec = 60;
            setInterval(function () {
               document.getElementById("timer").innerHTML =
                  minute + " : " + sec;
               sec--;
               if (sec == 00) {
                  minute--;
                  sec = 60;
                  if (minute == 0) {
                     minute = 5;
                  }
               }
            }, 1000);
         };
      </script>
   </body>
</html>

Example 3: javascript date countdown

<!-- Display the countdown timer in an element -->
<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
// Set the date we're counting down to
var countDownDate = new Date("Jan 5, 2021 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="demo"
  document.getElementById("demo").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("demo").innerHTML = "EXPIRED";
  }
}, 1000);
</script>

Example 4: html timer

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
p {
  text-align: center;
  font-size: 60px;
  margin-top: 0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<p id="demo"></p>

<script>
// Set the date we're counting down to
var countDownDate = new Date("Jan 5, 2021 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>

</body>
</html>

Example 5: countdown in js

function startTimer(duration, display) {
    var timer = duration, minutes, seconds;
    setInterval(function () {
        minutes = parseInt(timer / 60, 10);
        seconds = parseInt(timer % 60, 10);

        minutes = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
        seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds;

        display.textContent = minutes + ":" + seconds;

        if (--timer < 0) {
            timer = duration;
        }
    }, 1000);
}

window.onload = function () {
    var fiveMinutes = 60 * 5,
        display = document.querySelector('#time');
    startTimer(fiveMinutes, display);
};

Example 6: javascript countdown timer including days

var countDownDate = new Date("Jul 25, 2021 16:37:52").getTime();

var myfunc = setInterval(function() {
    var now = new Date().getTime();
    var timeleft = countDownDate - now;
        
    var days = Math.floor(timeleft / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
    var hours = Math.floor((timeleft % (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)) / (1000 * 60 * 60));
    var minutes = Math.floor((timeleft % (1000 * 60 * 60)) / (1000 * 60));
    var seconds = Math.floor((timeleft % (1000 * 60)) / 1000);
    
    }, 1000)
