I want to create a stop watch. I googled and got a few tips on how to make a timer. Here is what I have done in my controller:
$scope.value = 0;
$scope.startTimer = function() {
$scope.value = 0;
var change = function() {
$scope.value += 1000;
$timeout(change,1000);
};
$timeout(change, 1000);
}
And in my html displayed value in this format:
<label>{{value | date: 'hh:mm:ss'}}</label>
The problem is the clock always starts at 04:00:00 and when I call the startTimer()
function, it starts the timer okay but I want the timer to be like:
00:00:00
00:00:01
00:00:02
....
Can anyone tell me how to start timer at 00:00:00?
EDITED: Updated code with interval timer, so now code contains both timers with $timeout
and $interval
.
Here you go, make your own filter:
var app = angular.module("myApp",[]);
app.controller("myController",function($scope, $timeout, $interval){
//timer with timeout
$scope.timerWithTimeout = 0;
$scope.startTimerWithTimeout = function() {
$scope.timerWithTimeout = 0;
if($scope.myTimeout){
$timeout.cancel($scope.myTimeout);
}
$scope.onTimeout = function(){
$scope.timerWithTimeout++;
$scope.myTimeout = $timeout($scope.onTimeout,1000);
}
$scope.myTimeout = $timeout($scope.onTimeout,1000);
};
$scope.resetTimerWithTimeout = function(){
$scope.timerWithTimeout = 0;
$timeout.cancel($scope.myTimeout);
}
//timer with interval
$scope.timerWithInterval = 0;
$scope.startTimerWithInterval = function() {
$scope.timerWithInterval = 0;
if($scope.myInterval){
$interval.cancel($scope.myInterval);
}
$scope.onInterval = function(){
$scope.timerWithInterval++;
}
$scope.myInterval = $interval($scope.onInterval,1000);
};
$scope.resetTimerWithInterval = function(){
$scope.timerWithInterval = 0;
$interval.cancel($scope.myInterval);
}
})
app.filter('hhmmss', function () {
return function (time) {
var sec_num = parseInt(time, 10); // don't forget the second param
var hours = Math.floor(sec_num / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((sec_num - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
var seconds = sec_num - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
if (hours < 10) {hours = "0"+hours;}
if (minutes < 10) {minutes = "0"+minutes;}
if (seconds < 10) {seconds = "0"+seconds;}
var time = hours+':'+minutes+':'+seconds;
return time;
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myController">
<label>Timer with timeout: {{timerWithTimeout | hhmmss}}</label>
<button ng-click="startTimerWithTimeout()">Start Timer</button>
<button ng-click="resetTimerWithTimeout()">reset tiemr</button>
<br><br>
<label>Timer with interval: {{timerWithInterval | hhmmss}}</label>
<button ng-click="startTimerWithInterval()">Start Timer</button>
<button ng-click="resetTimerWithInterval()">reset tiemr</button>
</div>
Addition: For timer it is better to use $interval
instead of $timeout
. and always reference $interval to some variable :$scope.timer = $interval(change, 1000);
, so you can destroy it on each reset:$interval.cancel($scope.timer);
.
