I am trying to do a countdown timer but after it gets to 1 it resets to 5 when its supposed to go to '00:00', I don't know where I am going wrong please may someone help me
This is my code:
const CountDown = () => {
const RESET_INTERVAL_S = 5;
const formatTime = (time) =>
`${String(Math.floor(time / 60)).padStart(2, "0")}:${String(
time % 60
).padStart(2, "0")}`;
const Timer = ({ time }) => {
const timeRemain = RESET_INTERVAL_S - (time % RESET_INTERVAL_S);
return (
<>
<Text>{formatTime(timeRemain)}</Text>
</>
);
};
const IntervalTimerFunctional = () => {
const [time, setTime] = useState(0);
console.log("The time is", time);
useEffect(() => {
const timerId = setInterval(() => {
setTime((t) => t + 1);
}, 1000);
return () => clearInterval(timerId);
}, []);
return <Timer time={time} />;
};
return <IntervalTimerFunctional />;
};
I am not sure this is a perfect solution but this could work:
You could stop your timer when it reaches its maximum value:
useEffect(() => {
const timerId = setInterval(() => {
setTime((t) => {
if(t + 1 === RESET_INTERVAL_S) {
clearInterval(timerId)
}
return t + 1;
});
}, 1000);
return () => clearInterval(timerId);
}, []);
And display "00:00" when you have reached the limit:
<Text>{time === RESET_INTERVAL_S ? "00:00" : formatTime(timeRemain)}</Text>
Here is a working example
