Usage

You need only 2 lines.

// from current Date, after 30 minutes.
let countdownLabel = CountdownLabel(frame: frame, minutes: 30) // you can use NSDate as well
countdownLabel.start()

Morphing example

Use animationType. That effect comes from LTMorphingLabel.

let countdownLabel = CountdownLabel(frame: CGRectZero, time: 60*60)
countdownLabel.animationType = .Pixelate
countdownLabel.start()

Style:

you can directly allocate it as a UILabel property just like usual.

countdownLabel.textColor = .orangeColor()
countdownLabel.font = UIFont(name:"Courier", size:UIFont.labelFontSize())
countdownLabel.start()

Get Status of timer

there’s some property for reading status.

countdownLabel.timeCounted      // timer that has been counted
countdownLabel.timeRemaining    // timer's remaining

// example
@IBAction func getTimerCounted(sender: UIButton) {
    debugPrint("\(countdownLabel.timeCounted)")
}

@IBAction func getTimerRemain(sender: UIButton) {
    debugPrint("\(countdownLabel.timeRemaining)")
}

You can pause, start, change time.

// -2 minutes for ending
@IBAction func minus(btn: UIButton) {
    countdownLabel.addTime(-2)
}

@IBAction func plus(btn: UIButton) {
    countdownLabel.addTime(2)
}

// check if pause or not
if countdownLabel.isPaused {
    // timer start
    countdownLabel.start()
} else {
    // timer pause
    countdownLabel.pause()
}

Using then function or delegate, you can set your function anywhere you like.

// then property 
countdownLabel.then(10) { [unowned self] in
    self.countdownLabel.animationType = .Pixelate
    self.countdownLabel.textColor = .greenColor()
}
countdownLabel.then(5) { [unowned self] in
    self.countdownLabel.animationType = .Sparkle
    self.countdownLabel.textColor = .yellowColor()
}
countdownLabel.start() {
    self.countdownLabel.textColor = .whiteColor()
}

// delegate
func countingAt(timeCounted timeCounted: NSTimeInterval, timeRemaining: NSTimeInterval) {
    switch timeRemaining {
    case 10:
        self.countdownLabel6.animationType = .Pixelate
        self.countdownLabel6.textColor = .greenColor()
    case 5:
        self.countdownLabel6.animationType = .Sparkle
        self.countdownLabel6.textColor = .yellowColor()
    default:
        break
