Stop/Start Vue/Crono time clock

[omgwalt]

I’m a Vue and Quasar beginner, and I confess I don’t know what I’m doing some of the time.

I’m trying to use the Vue Chrono plugin from https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue-crono

I’ve been trying to adapt the sample code from that page into a time clock. By adapting the code they supply on that page, I can get it going as a regular clock (as it was written to be), but when I try to use:

this.$cron.stop(methodName) and
this.$cron.start(methodName)

to stop and start the clock, I get an error: “Error: Cron method ‘function () { [native code] }’ does not exist and cannot be started.”

If I can learn how to effectively use this.$cron.stop(methodName) and this.$cron.start(methodName), I think I have a chance to make my spa work after a lot more work, but I can’t seem to figure out how to access them correctly.

Here’s my code so far. Any help would be appreciated.

<template>
    <div class="q-pa-md q-gutter-sm">
        <h4 style="text-align: center;">
            Time Clock</h4>
        <h2
            style="text-align: center;"
            :class="this.clockStarted ? 'green' : 'red'"
            >
            {{ incrementalTimeCheck }}</h2>
        <q-btn
            @click="changeClockState()"
            @mousedown="timeEnd = Date.now()"
            rounded
            icon="av_timer"
            :label="this.clockStarted ? 'Click to Stop' : 'Click to Start'"
            stack
            class="full-width"
            size="xl"
            :color="this.clockStarted ? 'green' : 'red'"

@omgwalt the error is at your changeClockState method, i’m not sure what params type $cron is expecting since it wasnt stated this.load could be this.load() or most probably a string 'load' since the lib calls it methodName.
