  <p>I couldn't find too many options for doing it in Angular. I found this solution in Angular JS. <a href="https://siddii.github.io/angular-timer/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://siddii.github.io/angular-timer/</a> I need the timer exactly like this. But I was not able to port it into Angular or I couldn't. So tried the other alternatives available and found these still they are all also not working. </p>
  
  <p><a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng2-simple-timer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng2-simple-timer</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngx-timer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngx-timer</a></p>
  
  <p>The closest I got to was this ngx-timer's Countup-timer.  <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngx-timer" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngx-timer</a> the timer works fine and its able to start from a given date as per my requirement. startTimer(startDate). But it has an known issue which is still unresolved that is it applies itself to the last known index of the timer element thereby only one timer running in a whole list of timers.You can notice that in the above given screenshot itself.</p>
  
  <p>its a known bug. <a href="https://github.com/Y4SHVINE/ngx-timer-lib/issues" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/Y4SHVINE/ngx-timer-lib/issues</a> </p>
  
  <p>So can somebody help me with a solution or some tweaks to one of these solutions to make it work.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
