I (and [many](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15803937/restart-countdown-timer-when-expired other) others) would like timers that automatically reset themselves after expiry. An example use case would just be someone (like me) who wants to update a status page every 30 seconds. Sure, I could just use setInterval, but I like to show a little countdown that displays how long until the page auto-refreshes itself. I could also just restart the timer myself (outside the plugin), but I’d prefer for this functionality to be built in.
I added an
infinite
option that does just that. If you setinfinite
totrue
_and_ you have anuntil
option that is a relative time, then the timer restarts after it expires. If you have anuntil
that is a date, infinite mode doesn’t really make sense, so nothing happens in that case.Disclaimer - this code works awesome for me, but I have not tested it against all the possible configurations and uses.
