Overview

The Counter is a component designed to measure time or duration, displayed in the HH format. It allows users to track events by either counting up (like a stopwatch) or counting down (like a countdown timer).

For example, you might use a Counter in a project management dashboard to count down the time remaining for a task deadline. As time progresses, the Counter updates in real-time, helping users stay aware of time-sensitive activities.
