timer javascript code code example
Example 1: javascript count time
// The getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds since midnight of January 1, 1970.
var start = new Date().getTime();
for (i = 0; i < 50000; ++i) {
// do something
}
var end = new Date().getTime();
var time = end - start;
alert('Execution time: ' + time);
Example 2: 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 3: javascript date countdown
<p id="demo"></p>
<script>
var countDownDate = new Date("Jan 5, 2021 15:37:25").getTime();
var x = setInterval(function() {
var now = new Date().getTime();
var distance = countDownDate - now;
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 = days + "d " + hours + "h "
+ minutes + "m " + seconds + "s ";
if (distance < 0) {
clearInterval(x);
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = "EXPIRED";
}
}, 1000);
</script>
Example 4: How to make a timer in javascript
// this example takes 2 seconds to run
const start = Date.now();
// After a certain amount of time, run this to see how much time passed.
const milliseconds = Date.now() - start;
console.log('Seconds passed = ' + millis / 1000);
// Seconds passed = *Time passed*
Example 5: 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)
