JavaScript Project - Countdown Timer

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a simple Countdown Timer JavaScript project.

We will create a Countdown Timer JavaScript project which will start countdown up to 31st Dec of 2020.

1. index.html

Let's create index.html and add the following code to it:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
        <title>Countdown Timer</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
        <script src="script.js" defer></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>End of Year 2020</h1>

        <div class="countdown-container">
            <div class="countdown-el days-c">
                <p class="big-text" id="days">0</p>
                <span>days</span>
            </div>
            <div class="countdown-el hours-c">
                <p class="big-text" id="hours">0</p>
                <span>hours</span>
            </div>
            <div class="countdown-el mins-c">
                <p class="big-text" id="mins">0</p>
                <span>mins</span>
            </div>
            <div class="countdown-el seconds-c">
                <p class="big-text" id="seconds">0</p>
                <span>seconds</span>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

2. script.js

Let's create JavaScript file named script.js and add following JavaScript code to it:

const daysEl = document.getElementById("days");
const hoursEl = document.getElementById("hours");
const minsEl = document.getElementById("mins");
const secondsEl = document.getElementById("seconds");

const newYears = "31 Dec 2020";

function countdown() {
    const newYearsDate = new Date(newYears);
    const currentDate = new Date();

    const totalSeconds = (newYearsDate - currentDate) / 1000;

    const days = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600 / 24);
    const hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600) % 24;
    const mins = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 60) % 60;
    const seconds = Math.floor(totalSeconds) % 60;

    daysEl.innerHTML = days;
    hoursEl.innerHTML = formatTime(hours);
    minsEl.innerHTML = formatTime(mins);
    secondsEl.innerHTML = formatTime(seconds);
}

function formatTime(time) {
    return time < 10 ? `0${time}` : time;
}

// initial call
countdown();

setInterval(countdown, 1000);

style.css

Let's create CSS file named style.css and add the following CSS code to it:

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins:wght@200;400;600&display=swap");

* {
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center center;
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: center;
    min-height: 100vh;
    font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
    margin: 0;
}

h1 {
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 4rem;
    margin-top: 5rem;
}

.countdown-container {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: center;
}

.big-text {
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 6rem;
    line-height: 1;
    margin: 1rem 2rem;
}

.countdown-el {
    text-align: center;
}

.countdown-el span {
    font-size: 1.3rem;
}
