  clockSize: 15.0,
  initialTimerDuration: Duration(minutes: 5),
  controller: controller,
  showControls: true,
)

Stopwatch

  controller: controller,
  showControls: true,
)

Static Time Display

ClockWidget.static(
  staticTime: DateTime(2023, 12, 25, 14, 30, 0), // 2:30 PM or DateTime.now()
  clockSize: 15.0,
  animateToPosition: true,
)

🎨 Customization Examples

Custom Styled Clock

ClockWidget.clock(
  clockSize: 15.0,
  colors: ClockColors(
    background: Colors.white,
    topShadow: Colors.red,
    bottomShadow: Colors.yellow,
    innerShadow: Colors.blue,
    clockFace: Colors.purple,
    hand: Colors.lime,

  handWidth: 2.0,
)

🎮 Controller Usage

Programmatic Control

final controller = ClockController();

// Listen to state changes
controller.isRunning.addListener(() {
  print('Running: ${controller.isRunning.value}');
});

controller.currentDuration.addListener(() {
  print('Duration: ${controller.currentDuration.value}');
});

// Control actions
controller.onStart?.call();    // Start timer/stopwatch
controller.onPause?.call();    // Pause timer/stopwatch
controller.onReset?.call();    // Reset timer/stopwatch

Integration with UI

ValueListenableBuilder<Duration>(
  valueListenable: controller.currentDuration,
  builder: (context, duration, child) {
    return Text(
      'Remaining: ${duration.inMinutes}:${(duration.inSeconds % 60).toString().padLeft(2, '0')}',
      style: TextStyle(fontSize: 16),
    );
  },
)

🐛 Troubleshooting

Clock Not Updating?

// Make sure you're using the correct mode
ClockWidget.clock() // For real-time updates
ClockWidget.static() // For static time display

Controls Not Showing?

// Enable controls explicitly
ClockWidget.timer(
  showControls: true, // ← This must be true
  controller: controller,
)

Animation Not Working?

// For static mode, enable animation
ClockWidget.static(
  animateToPosition: true, // ← Enable animation
  staticTime: DateTime.now(),
)
