Prop for whether the counter should be paused

[janhartmann]

It would be cool if you could be able to pause the countdown.

I have a use case where the count down is not visible and I wish to control when to start the countdown. Thanks :-)

Yeah, this feature would be very helpful.

Hi,

I've added a couple of new props;

paused: React.PropTypes.bool
pausedText: React.PropTypes.string

pausedText is optional and by default it will just freeze the current time. It's a little troublesome as the paused text string will be of the same font size as the last displayed time. I'd suggest also setting a fixed fontSize at the same time as setting the paused prop when using pausedText.

This is all on master at the moment. I've updated the demo and it should be in the next release I cut.

Thanks for your input,

@pughpugh any idea when you will push a release to npm? The pause feature would be nice to have.

@ohmyjersh Possibly next week, I'm just finding it hard to make time to test it. I the mean time you can always give it a whirl via the master branch.

@pughpugh Hey Hugh :) I tried to set the paused property = true and the time just keeps on spinning. Is this implemented in the current release?

This has now been deployed to npm. The example has been updated (click on the timer to pause it)
