FFXIV Timer

View the live demo.

This branch contains an FFXIV-specific timer implementation. Modified version of Xenoveritas' FFXIV Timer.

Using

You must run grunt at least once to install the necessary third party libraries that this uses. So the setup process should effectively be:

1. Install Node
2. Run npm install to install necessary libraries
3. Run npm install -g grunt-cli to install the CLI for grunt
4. Run grunt itself

Testing with browsers that block AJAX to file: URLs

In some browsers, you can just run ffxiv_timer_test.html directly (after running grunt to install dependencies), but some disallow that as a security precaution. In order to work around that, you can use the existing grunt build to run a test server using the testserver task:

grunt testserver

After that, you can go to http://localhost:8000/web/ffxiv_timer_test.html to run the test version of the page.

To test the compiled versions, use the server task instead:

grunt server

The compiled version will then be available at http://localhost:8000/web/ffxiv_timer.html .

Timer module

A simple JavaScript module for generating countdown timers or clocks. Check out demo.html for a brief demo of creating a simple clock in the browser and demo.js for a demo of using this in Node.js.

Timer class

Very basic timer class that runs a function every second.

Member Functions

• start() - starts the timer. Events do not fire until start() is called.
• stop() - stops the timer. No more events will be called.
• ontick(now) - Called once a second with the current time. (Note: the Date object given will have a different time from the one given by new Date(), as the time when ontick is called may not be exactly on the second. By using the given date, the timer will update "close enough" to the correct second.)

Static Functions

• Timer.zeropad(number) - Utility function to 0-pad a two-digit number, since this comes up so often. This will take numbers 0-9 and produce strings like "01".

Timer.Interval class

An interval of time - sort of like a Date() but for different periods of time.

Timer.Interval(millis) - create a new timer for the given number of milliseconds

Member variables

• weeks - number of weeks in the interval
• days - number of days in the interval
• hours - number of hours in the interval
• minutes - number of minutes in the interval
• seconds - number of seconds in the interval
• millis - number of milliseconds in the interval
