Description:

countDown.js is a dependency-free JavaScript library for creating a countdown or count up timer just like thretro-lookingng flip clock.

How to use it:

Create a container element to place the countdown clock.

<div class="container"></div>

Download and place the JavaScript file ‘countDown.js’ at the bottom of the webpage.

<script src="countDown.js"></script>

Initialize the countDown.js and specify the end date you want to count to.

var cd = new Countdown({
    cont: document.querySelector('.container'),
    endDate: 1553468400000,
    outputTranslation: {
        year: 'Years',
        week: 'Weeks',
        day: 'Days',
        hour: 'Hours',
        minute: 'Minutes',
        second: 'Seconds',
    },
    endCallback: null,
    outputFormat: 'week|day|hour|minute|second',
});

Style the countdown clock in the CSS.
