API

The TimerInput constructor

TimerInput(element, [opts], [listener])

Create a TimerInput instance to attach/detach one or more listeners. When the value of the element is changed, the listener will be called with a TimerInputEvent object passed as the first parameter.

TimerInputEvent

• type: "timerinput".
• oldValue: A string represents the value before changing.
• newValue: A string represents the value after changing.

In the listener, this refers the input or textarea element.

The opts object can be passed as the second parameter:

• bindEvent

  Type: Boolean Default: true

  It represents if the focus and blur event of the element will be listened when an TimerInput instance is created.

The TimerInput instance methods:

start()

Set the timer. By default, when the focus event is fired, the timer will be set.

stop()

Clear the timer. By default, when the blur event is fired, the timer will be cleared.

get()

Return the value of the element.

set(value)

Use the value to update the value of the element and the listener(s) will be called, if any. If you modify the element.value directly, none of the listener(s) will be called.

on(listener)

Attach a listener.

off(listener)

Detach a listener. If no argument is passed, all exist listeners will be detached.

trigger([arg1], [arg2], ...)

Execute all exist listeners with some optional parameters passed.

destroy()

The input or textarea element is no longer monitored.
