function getTimeRemaining(endtime) {
    const total = Date.parse(endtime) - Date.now();
    const seconds = Math.floor((total / 1000) % 60);
    const minutes = Math.floor((total / 1000 / 60) % 60);
    const hours = Math.floor((total / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24);
    const days = Math.floor(total / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));

    return {
        total,
        days,
        hours,
        minutes,
        seconds
    };
}
  • Date.parse(endtime) converts the end time into a timestamp (in milliseconds).
  • Date.now() gets the current time in milliseconds.
  • We calculate the difference (total), then use that to extract the days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
  • The function returns an object containing the remaining time.
