Countdown

Create a simple countdown timer.

Usage

To apply this component, add the uk-countdown attribute to a container element and define a date when the countdown should expire. Just add date: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssTZD option to the attribute, using the ISO 8601 format, e.g. {%isodate%} (UTC time).

Add the following classes to child elements to apply the necessary functionality and styling.
