HTML

Settings

key Type Required Description
autoStart boolean No if set to true stopwatch will auto start, by default it is set to false
offsetTimestamp number No this will define the initial stopwatch offset example: const stopwatchOffset = new Date(); stopwatchOffset.setSeconds(stopwatchOffset.getSeconds() + 300); this will result in a 5 minutes offset and stopwatch will start from 0:0:5:0 instead of 0:0:0:0
