SSR based date value calculation

SSR based date value calculation

This is kind of similar to https://github.com/ndresx/react-countdown/issues/42 issue but I couldn’t make it work via now prop.

@ndresx I want to pass down the current time from the server instead of Date.now() that can be anything based on the user settings. When I add the same timestamp to the now prop, the countdown stops.

The date prop calculates the countdown time based on the Date.new(), is there away I can pass down the current date from the server instead of Date.now()

If I do this, even if the user has an invalid date on their browser, I would still be able to show the right time on the countdown.

any idea?

// Todo: Calculate current time based on the server. Client side can't be valid all the times.

<Countdown
  key="countdown"
  date={targetTime} // or an option here would make it even easier
  now={() => ServerSideCurrentTImeInTimeStamp} // SSR current date
  renderer={renderer}
/>

Hi, you would have to calculate the difference between Date.now() and ServerSideCurrentTImeInTimeStamp, and then basically say that now equals Date.now() + this difference. now is called every second, so the value it returns needs to be a dynamic value, not a static one.

Thank You, I’ll give it a shot.
