Set seconds to countdown, not only add about angular-timer

[siddii]

I understand the need here. However, its a very thin line on deciding where this method can go. We can argue that the callee should be able to do this from its end or probably the concern of directive itself.

I am thinking out loud in a broader term here.. may be the best thing to do is probably make it generic, like adding methods on other attributes as well like.. resetInterval(intervalTime), resetCountdown(countdown), resetStartTime(startTime) etc.
Those methods can reset the value & timers also.
Let me know what you think.

I hadn't thought in the others methods,that will be useful too , I like your idea :)

Any news on this?

Sorry I haven't had a chance to look at this. I will take a look at this as my next thing as soon as possible.

The code to subtract seconds from the startTime is pretty simple. I managed to create a "count up" timer by just adding an attribute similar to countdown and then:

      $scope.addCUSeconds = $element[0].addCUSeconds = function(millisToRemove){
        $scope.startTime = new Date($scope.startTime.getTime() - millisToRemove)
        $scope.$digest();
        if (!$scope.isRunning) {
          $scope.start();
        }
      };
      $scope.$on('timer-set-cu-seconds', function (e, millis) {
        $timeout(function (){
          $scope.addCUSeconds(millis);
        });
      });

Naming could probably be improved. The big problem I see is that because you are using controller rather than link (postlink) you can't have something like:

timer(start-time="{{myStartTime}}", auto-start="false", interval='1000') {{mminutes}}:{{sseconds}}

I tried messing around with changing start-time to & or @ scoping, but the init of startTime in $scope.start() pretty much kills it.
