Pomodoro Clock : how to keep time on screen

[zootechdrum]

code:

POMO CLOCK

Hello,
Is there anyway I can call startTimer from a starting of 500 milliseconds instead of 1000 milliseconds on the first call? I would like it to initialize it faster on first click but only the first time.

How do I keep the time from disappearing from the screen every time my component updates.

Your CurrentTime component has conditional rendering of the contents (this.props.start) and when it’s false the strtTimer function is called, but it takes 1000ms for it to return, so during that time nothing is displayed.

I would move all the logic to the App component and then use some flag in the state to indicate first call.
