Props for both React/React Native

Prop Name Type Default Description
duration number required Countdown duration in seconds
colors string | [color HEX: string, transition duration: number 0 ~ 1][] required Single color as a string in HEX format or an array of tuples: 1st param - color in HEX format; 2nd param - time to transition to next color represented as a fraction of the total duration
initialRemainingTime number - Sets the initial remaining time when the countdown starts. By default the countdown starts at the duration provided.
size number 180 Width and height of the SVG element
strokeWidth number 12 Path stroke width
strokeLinecap round | square round Path stroke line cap
trailColor string #d9d9d9 Circle trail color - takes any valid color format (HEX, rgb, rgba, etc.)
rotation clockwise | counterclockwise clockwise Progress path rotation direction
isPlaying boolean false Play and pause animation
* isLinearGradient boolean false * Apples linear gradient on top of the circle. The gradient doesn't follow the circle path. Works best with two colors.
gradientUniqueKey string - Unique ID for the linearGradient element. It takes random ID if it's not provided.
children ReactNode | function({ remainingTime: number, elapsedTime: number }): number|string|ReactNode - Render function or component to customize the time/content in the center of the circle. The content is centered using flexbox.
onComplete function(totalElapsedTime: number): void | [shouldRepeat: boolean, delay: number] - On complete handler. It can be used to repeat the countdown by returning an array where the first element shouldRepeat indicates if the loop should start over and second element delay specifies the delay before looping again in milliseconds. The callback receives as an argument the total elapsed time in seconds.
ariaLabel string Countdown timer Aria label for the whole component
renderAriaTime function({ remainingTime: number, elapsedTime: number }): string - Render prop function to customize the text message that will be read by the screen reader during the countdown.

Recipes

Change duration and/or initialRemainingTime once component is mounted

Once the component is mounted duration and initialRemainingTime can not be changed to avoid any issues computing colors and progress. To set new values for any of the two props just pass a new key prop to CountdownCircleTimer component and the timer will start over with the new values provided.

Restart timer at any given time

Pass a key prop to CountdownCircleTimer and change the key when the timer should be restarted.

Repeat timer when countdown is completed

Return an array from onComplete handler, which indicates if the animation should be repeated. Example:

const UrgeWithPleasureComponent = () => (
  <CountdownCircleTimer
    onComplete={() => {
      // do your stuff here
      return [true, 1500] // repeat animation in 1.5 seconds
    }}
    isPlaying
    duration={10}
    colors="#A30000"
  />
)

Set the initial remaining time different then the duration provided

Pass the remaining time to initialRemainingTime prop. Example:

const UrgeWithPleasureComponent = () => (
  <CountdownCircleTimer
    isPlaying
    duration={60}
    initialRemainingTime={15}
    colors="#A30000"
  />
)

In the example above, the countdown will start at 15 seconds (one quarter before it's done) and it will animate for 15 seconds until reaches 0.

Time formatting functions

children prop of CountdownCircleTimer component will receive as a prop remainingTime in seconds. Below are few function that can be used to get different time formatting:

  • Format mm:ss (minutes and seconds)
const children = ({ remainingTime }) => {
  const minutes = Math.floor((remainingTime % 3600) / 60)
  const seconds = remainingTime % 60

  return `${minutes}:${seconds}`
}
  • Format hh:mm:ss (hours, minutes and seconds)
const children = ({ remainingTime }) => {
  const hours = Math.floor(remainingTime / 3600)
  const minutes = Math.floor((remainingTime % 3600) / 60)
  const seconds = remainingTime % 60

  return `${hours}:${minutes}:${seconds}`
}
