Creating Countdown Timer

In below example I am going to create a simple new year coutdown timer with the help of flipclockjs plugin.

Include flipclock.css CSS and flipclock.min.js JS library just after latest jQuery Library

HTML

Create your countdown clock.

JS

For creating new year countdown get the current date and Set some date in the future. In this case, it’s always Jan 1 and Calculate the difference in seconds between the future and current date and pass diff in FlipClock countdown..

<script type="text/javascript">
var clock;
$(document).ready(function() {
	// Grab the current date
	var currentDate = new Date();
	// Set some date in the future. In this case, it's always Jan 1
	var futureDate  = new Date(currentDate.getFullYear() + 1, 0, 1);
	// Calculate the difference in seconds between the future and current date
	var diff = futureDate.getTime() / 1000 - currentDate.getTime() / 1000;
	// Instantiate a coutdown FlipClock
	clock = $('.clock').FlipClock(diff, {
		clockFace: 'DailyCounter',
		countdown: true
	});
});
</script>
