Usage

You need only 2 lines.


                                              
                                                // from current Date, after 30 minutes.

let countdownLabel = CountdownLabel(frame: frame, minutes: 30) // you can use NSDate as well

countdownLabel.start()

Morphing example

Use animationType. Those effect comes from LTMorphingLabel.


                                              
                                                let countdownLabel = CountdownLabel(frame: CGRectZero, time: 60*60)

countdownLabel.animationType = .Pixelate

countdownLabel.start()

morphing effect	example
.Burn
.Evaporate
.Fall
.Pixelate
.Scale
.Sparkle

Style

you can directly allocate it as a UILabel property just like usual.


                                              
                                                countdownLabel.textColor = .orangeColor()

countdownLabel.font = UIFont(name:”Courier”, size:UIFont.labelFontSize())

countdownLabel.start()

Get Status of timer

there’s some property for reading status.


                                              
                                                countdownLabel.timeCounted // timer that has been counted

countdownLabel.timeRemaining // timer’s remaining
// example

@IBAction func getTimerCounted(sender: UIButton) {

debugPrint(“\(countdownLabel.timeCounted)”)

}
@IBAction func getTimerRemain(sender: UIButton) {

debugPrint(“\(countdownLabel.timeRemaining)”)

}

Control countdown

You can pause, start, change time.


                                              
                                                // check if pause or not

if countdownLabel.isPaused {

// timer start

countdownLabel.start()

} else {

// timer pause

countdownLabel.pause()

}


                                              
                                                // -2 minutes for ending

@IBAction func minus(btn: UIButton) {

countdownLabel.addTime(-2)

}
// +2 minutes for ending

@IBAction func plus(btn: UIButton) {

countdownLabel.addTime(2)

}

Insert Function

Using then function or delegate, you can set your function anywhere you like.


                                              
                                                // then property

countdownLabel.then(10) { [unowned self] in

self.countdownLabel.animationType = .Pixelate

self.countdownLabel.textColor = .greenColor()

}

countdownLabel.then(5) { [unowned self] in

self.countdownLabel.animationType = .Sparkle

self.countdownLabel.textColor = .yellowColor()

}

countdownLabel.start() {

self.countdownLabel.textColor = .whiteColor()

}
// delegate

func countingAt(timeCounted timeCounted: NSTimeInterval, timeRemaining: NSTimeInterval) {

switch timeRemaining {

case 10:

self.countdownLabel6.animationType = .Pixelate

self.countdownLabel6.textColor = .greenColor()

case 5:

self.countdownLabel6.animationType = .Sparkle

self.countdownLabel6.textColor = .yellowColor()

default:

break

}

}

func countdownFinished() {

self.countdownLabel.textColor = .whiteColor()

}

Attributed Text

you can set as attributedText too. note:but morphing animation will be disabled.


                                              
                                                countdownLabel.setCountDownTime(30)

countdownLabel.timeFormat = “ss”

countdownLabel.countdownAttributedText = CountdownAttributedText(text: “timer HERE in text”, replacement: “HERE”)

countdownLabel.start()

Format

Don’t specified over 24 hours or you’ll get wrong format. CountdownLabel uses 00:00:00 (HH:mm:ss) as default format. if you prefer using another format, Your can set your time format like below.

countdownLabel.timeFormat = @"mm:ss"

Scheduled

you can set scheduled timer


                                              
                                                // after 10 minutes will start a countdown from 20.

let fromDate = NSDate().dateByAddingTimeInterval(10)

let targetDate = fromDate.dateByAddingTimeInterval(20)

let countdownLabel = CountdownLabel(frame: CGRectZero, fromDate: fromDate, targetDate: targetDate)

countdownLabel.start()

Check Status

some public properties are useful.


                                              
                                                countdownLabel.isCounting // check timer is counting now

countdownLabel.isPaused // check timer was stopped

countdownLabel.isFinished // check timer has ended

countdownLabel.morphingEnabled // check morphing is enabled
