What's new in 2.2.0?

• Total count for hours %I, minutes %N, seconds %T;
• Count to weeks left to complete a month %W (issue #210);
• Defer initialization, allow control the start of the plugin (issue #198);
• Fix pluralization bug when return is zero ( issue #187).

Deferred initialization

Allows the registration of callbacks before starting the plugin, so always renders at the initialization.

$('#clock').countdown('YYYY/MM/DD', {defer: true})
.on('update.countdown', function(event) {
    $(this).html(event.strftime('%D days till end...'));
})
.countdown('update') //
.countdown('start');

Total count

Standalone usage of any time component in the formatter:

• %I hours count till end;
• %N minutes count till end;
• %T seconds count till end;

$('#clock').countdown('YYYY/MM/DD', function(event) {
    $(this).html(event.strftime('%I hours left'));
    $(this).html(event.strftime('%N minutes left'));
    $(this).html(event.strftime('%T seconds left'));
});

Weeks left %W

To use in conjunction of the months %m displays only the weeks left to complete that month:

$('#clock').countdown('YYYY/MM/DD', function(event) {
    $(this).html(event.strftime('%m months and %W weeks till end...'));
});
