Hello,

I want to display the current time in my application.
How can I have a “wall clock” in my app (Slate or Workshop) ?

You can create a Slate application, and create the clock there.

Configuration in Slate:

  • Create a Code Sandbox
  • Set the HTML part to the below
  • Set the javascript to the below

HTML

<p id="text"></p>

Javascript

function updateTimestamp() {
            const now = new Date();
            const timestamp = now.toLocaleString(); // You can customize the format using options
            document.getElementById('text').textContent = timestamp;
        }
updateTimestamp()
setInterval(updateTimestamp, 1000)

You will obtain:

You should of course personalize it the way you like with CSS.

If you need it in Workshop, you can embed the Slate application in Workshop with the “Slate embedding” widget.
