Examples

Learn how to use the Timer component in your project. Let's take a look at the most basic example:

import { Timer } from '@ark-ui/solid/timer'

export const Basic = () => (
  <Timer.Root targetMs={60 * 60 * 1000}>
    <Timer.Area>
      <Timer.Item type="days" />
      <Timer.Separator>:</Timer.Separator>
      <Timer.Item type="hours" />
      <Timer.Separator>:</Timer.Separator>
      <Timer.Item type="minutes" />
      <Timer.Separator>:</Timer.Separator>
      <Timer.Item type="seconds" />
    </Timer.Area>
    <Timer.Control>
      <Timer.ActionTrigger action="start">Play</Timer.ActionTrigger>
      <Timer.ActionTrigger action="resume">Resume</Timer.ActionTrigger>
      <Timer.ActionTrigger action="pause">Pause</Timer.ActionTrigger>
    </Timer.Control>
  </Timer.Root>
)

Countdown Timer

You can create a countdown timer by setting the targetMs prop to a future timestamp:

import { Timer } from '@ark-ui/solid/timer'

export const Countdown = () => (
  <Timer.Root autoStart countdown startMs={60 * 60 * 500}>
    <Timer.Area>
      <Timer.Item type="days" />
      <Timer.Separator>:</Timer.Separator>
      <Timer.Item type="hours" />
      <Timer.Separator>:</Timer.Separator>
      <Timer.Item type="minutes" />
      <Timer.Separator>:</Timer.Separator>
      <Timer.Item type="seconds" />
    </Timer.Area>
  </Timer.Root>
)

Timer Events

The Timer component provides events that you can listen to for various timer-related actions.

  • The onComplete event is triggered when the timer reaches its target time.
  • The onTick event is called on each timer update, providing details about the current timer state.
import { Timer } from '@ark-ui/solid/timer'

export const Events = () => (
  <Timer.Root
    targetMs={5 * 1000}
    onComplete={() => console.log('Timer completed')}
    onTick={(details) => console.log('Tick:', details.formattedTime)}
  >
    <Timer.Item type="seconds" />
  </Timer.Root>
)
