How to use Public plugin methods

Question

I was playing with this code ( https://github.com/rendro/countdown ) and I was wondering how I should use "Public plugin methods" (as listed in the readme.md).

Specifically, I am launching a countdown timer like this:

function Timer(minutes) {
$('.countdown').countdown({
            date: new Date().getTime() + (1000 * 60 * minutes - 1000),
            render: function(data) {
            $(this.el).text(this.leadingZeros(data.min) + ":" + this.leadingZeros(data.sec, 2));
});
}

// Launch timer
Timer(2);

And now I am trying to use the "stop()" method, but can't figure out how I should be doing it.

I tried $('.countdown').countdown.sop() , then I tried countdown.stop() , then I tried using var timer = Timer(2) followed by timer.stop()

I just don't know how I should be using these methods.

Any help greatly appreciated, as the repo is inactive now.

Thanks

Answer 1

it bind object to element by data. if you want to stop it, please first get the object and then stop, like below code:

$('.countdown').data('countdown').stop();
