Pause button = resume function

[captainscorch]

Hello,

thanks for creating the great timer script!
I am aware of the "pause" button from your sample page, my problem is I only have 3 buttons. Start, Pause/Resume and Stop. The Pause button should resume the timer when clicked again after being paused.

I tried to change the class after the click on the pause button from "pauseButton" to "startButton" but this didn't help. Is there anyway to do this?

Here's my HTML:
<div id="controls" class="recordingTime"> <button id="recordButton" class="startButton" onclick="displayStopwatch()"><i class="fas fa-microphone"></i></button> <button id="pauseButton" class="pauseButton" disabled><i class="fas fa-pause"></i></button> <button id="stopButton" class="stopButton" disabled><i class="fas fa-stop"></i></button> </div>

That's my current timer code:
// show recording time var timer = new Timer(); $('.recordingTime .startButton').click(function () { timer.start(); }); $('.recordingTime .pauseButton').click(function () { timer.pause(); }); $('.recordingTime .stopButton').click(function () { timer.stop(); }); timer.addEventListener('secondsUpdated', function (e) { $('.recordingTime .values').html(timer.getTimeValues().toString()); }); timer.addEventListener('started', function (e) { $('.recordingTime .values').html(timer.getTimeValues().toString()); });

Hi!

You can define a flag and use it to pause/resume the timer using the pause button. Something like this:

var paused = false;
$('.recordingTime .pauseButton').click(function () {
  if (paused) {
    paused = false;
    timer.start();
  } else {
    paused = true;
    timer.pause();
  }
}); 

I hope this helps you.

Best regards!

Hello Albert,

thank you so much for the quick help. This worked perfectly! I appreciate it.
Also, I would suggest to add this code snippet to the documentation as I'm sure more people would like to use the same button for pause & resume.

Anyways, thanks again for the help & developing this easy timer!

Best regards
