I have been given the challenge of developing a clientside countdown timer for a set of records. Each record includes a specific value, as indicated in the title (For example: Tuesday, 05:00). My goal is to display an ongoing countdown on each row within an Angular 4 application. For instance, if the current time was yesterday at 02:30, the displayed value should show as '1d 2h 30m'. I am currently stuck and cannot figure out how to begin tackling this task. Any suggestions on converting the next occurrence of 'Tuesday, 05:00' into a workable date/time value would be greatly appreciated.
