If you are running any deals or auction sites then displaying countdown timer with running deals is great idean that’s why In this post I am going to share a jQuery plugin to create fast countdown timer for your deals/auction/coming soon page. FlipClock is a jQuery plugin for creating a clock/timer/countdown that displays information in a digital format on a split flap display.
Creating Countdown Timer
In below example I am going to create a simple new year coutdown timer with the help of flipclockjs plugin.
Libraries
Include flipclock.css CSS and flipclock.min.js JS library just after latest jQuery Library
<!--CSS--> <link rel="stylesheet" href="flipclock.css"> <!--JS--> <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script> <script src="flipclock.min.js"></script>
HTML
Create your countdown clock.
<div class="clock"></div>
JS
For creating new year countdown get the current date and Set some date in the future. In this case, it’s always Jan 1 and Calculate the difference in seconds between the future and current date and pass diff in FlipClock countdown.
<script type="text/javascript">
var clock;
$(document).ready(function() {
// Grab the current date
var currentDate = new Date();
// Set some date in the future. In this case, it's always Jan 1
var futureDate = new Date(currentDate.getFullYear() + 1, 0, 1);
// Calculate the difference in seconds between the future and current date
var diff = futureDate.getTime() / 1000 - currentDate.getTime() / 1000;
// Instantiate a coutdown FlipClock
clock = $('.clock').FlipClock(diff, {
clockFace: 'DailyCounter',
countdown: true
});
});
</script>
