Example

Simple to use
int endTime = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch + 1000 * 30;

...

  endTime: endTime,
),
Execute event at end.
int endTime = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch + 1000 * 30;

void onEnd() {
  print('onEnd');
}

...
CountdownTimer(
  endTime: endTime,
  onEnd: onEnd,
),
Use the controller to end the countdown early.
  CountdownTimerController controller;
  int endTime = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch + 1000 * 30;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller = CountdownTimerController(endTime: endTime, onEnd: onEnd);
  }

  void onEnd() {
    print('onEnd');
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
          CountdownTimer(
              controller: controller,
              onEnd: onEnd,
              endTime: endTime,
          ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        child: Icon(Icons.stop),
        onPressed: () {
          onEnd();
          controller.disposeTimer();
        },
      ),
    );
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    controller.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }
Custom style.
  int endTime = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch + 1000 * 30;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
          CountdownTimer(
            endTime: endTime,
            widgetBuilder: (_, CurrentRemainingTime time) {
              if (time == null) {
                return Text('Game over');
              }
              return Text(
                  'days: [ ${time.days} ], hours: [ ${time.hours} ], min: [ ${time.min} ], sec: [ ${time.sec} ]');
            },
          ),
      ),
    );
  }
Using millisecond animation
class _CountdownTimerPageState extends State<CountdownTimerPage>
    with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
  late CountdownTimerController controller;
  int endTime = DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch +
      Duration(seconds: 30).inMilliseconds;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller =
        CountdownTimerController(endTime: endTime, onEnd: onEnd, vsync: this);
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Column(
        mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.spaceEvenly,
        children: <Widget>[
          CountdownTimer(
            controller: controller,
            widgetBuilder: (BuildContext context, CurrentRemainingTime? time) {
              if (time == null) {
                return Text('Game over');
              }
              List<Widget> list = [];
              if (time.sec != null) {
                list.add(Row(
                  children: <Widget>[
                    Icon(Icons.sentiment_very_satisfied),
                    Text(time.sec.toString()),
                  ],
                ));
              }
              if (time.milliseconds != null) {
                list.add(Row(
                  children: <Widget>[
                    Icon(Icons.sentiment_very_satisfied),
                    AnimatedBuilder(
                      animation: time.milliseconds!,
                      builder: (context, child) {
                        return Text("${(time.milliseconds!.value * 1000).toInt()}");

                    )
                  ],
                ));
              }
              return Row(
                mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
                children: list,
              );
            },
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }

}
In ListView.builder
class ListViewPage extends StatefulWidget {
  static final String rName = "ListView";

  @override
