# wc-timer
A high-performance, dependency-free Web Component for countdowns, elapsed time, and static dates. It uses a shared ticker and cached `Intl` formatters for maximum efficiency.
## Features
* **High Performance**: Uses a shared global ticker (TickHub) to sync all instances. It calculates dates using O(1) math and caches `Intl` objects to save memory.
* **Smart Formatting**: Supports `Intl.DurationFormat` with a robust fallback for older browsers.
* **Versatile Presets**: Choose from `hms`, `dhms`, `ydhms`, `auto`, or static `date`.
* **Light DOM**: Renders as a standard Text Node. The text is selectable and inherits global CSS styles easily.
* **Auto-Restart**: If you update the target to a future date, the timer restarts automatically.
## Installation
```bash
npm install wc-timer
```
## Usage
1. **Import the script**:
```javascript
import 'wc-timer';
// Or via script tag:
// <script type="module" src="wc-timer.js"></script>
```
2. **Use in HTML**:
```html
<wc-timer target="2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"></wc-timer>
<wc-timer
target="2026-06-01T12:00:00Z"
preset="dhms"
labels="long"
compact
locale="pl">
</wc-timer>
<wc-timer preset="date" target="2025-12-31"></wc-timer>
```
## API Reference
### Attributes
| Attribute | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `target` | `string` | `now` | The target date (ISO 8601 string or Date compatible). |
| `preset` | `string` | `auto` | formatting mode: `auto`, `hms`, `dhms`, `ydhms`, `date`. |
| `labels` | `string` | `short` | unit labels: `none` (00:00:00), `short` (1h 5m), `long` (1 hour 5 minutes). |
| `compact` | `boolean` | `false` | if present, hides zero-value high units (e.g. hides "0 years"). |
| `locale` | `string` | `auto` | overrides browser language (e.g. `pl`, `en-US`). |
### Presets Details
* **auto**: shows `HH:MM:SS`. If duration > 30 days, it adds days.
* **hms**: hours, minutes, seconds.
* **dhms**: days, hours, minutes, seconds.
* **ydhms**: years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds.
* **date**: static date formatted via `Intl.DateTimeFormat`.
### JavaScript Properties
You can control the element programmatically.
```javascript
const el = document.querySelector('wc-timer');
// Update target (accepts Date object, string, or timestamp)
el.target = new Date('2030-01-01');
// Change settings on the fly
el.preset = 'ydhms';
el.compact = true;
el.labels = 'long';
```
## Styling
Since `wc-timer` uses Light DOM, you can style it with standard CSS.
```css
wc-timer {
font-family: 'Courier New', monospace;
font-weight: bold;
color: #2563eb;
}
```
## Browser Support
Works in all modern browsers. It uses `Intl.DurationFormat` if available. Otherwise, it falls back to a custom formatter using `Intl.PluralRules`.
