                [Countdown.js](https://github.com/HugoGiraudel/Countdown.js)
============

Countdown.js is a little customizable countdown made in pure JavaScript. GitHub repository [here](https://github.com/HugoGiraudel/Countdown.js).

## Examples

    // Instanciating a new countdown with all defaults
    new Countdown();

<div class="timer"></div>

    // Instanciating a custom countdown
    new Countdown({
        selector: '.new-year',
        dateEnd: new Date('Jan 1, 2014 12:00:00'),
        msgPattern : 'Happy new year in {days} days, {hours} hours, {minutes} minutes !'
    });

<div class="new-year"></div>


You can also play around with the code at [CodePen](https://codepen.io/HugoGiraudel/pen/vCyJq). 

## Options

You can pass the constructor number of options, including:

#### `selector`

The selector you want to inject Countdown into.

*Default*: `.timer`

#### `msgBefore`

The message to display before reaching `dateStart`.

*Default*: `"Be ready!"`

#### `msgAfter`

The message to display once reaching `dateEnd`.

*Default*: `"It's over, sorry folks!"`

#### `msgPattern`

The message to display during the countdown where values between braces get replaced by actual numeric values.  
Possible patterns:

* `{years}`
* `{months}`
* `{weeks}`
* `{days}`
* `{hours}`
* `{minutes}`
* `{seconds}`

*Default*: `"{days} days, {hours} hours, {minutes} minutes and {seconds} seconds left."`

#### `dateStart`

The date to start the countdown to. Should be an instance of class `Date`. Documentation [here at MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date).

*Default*: `new Date()` (now)

#### `dateEnd`

The date to end the countdown to. Should be an instance of class `Date`. Documentation [here at MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date).

*Default*: `new Date(new Date().getTime() + (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000))` (tomorrow)

#### `onStart`

The callback to run whenever the countdown start ticking.

*Default*: `null`

#### `onEnd`

The callback to run whenever the countdown stops.

*Default*: `null`
