What This Plugin Adds
Section titled “What This Plugin Adds”Countdown Widget is an Available, No schema impact Capell package in the Capell Foundation product group. It ships as capell-app/widget-countdown and extends these surfaces: admin, frontend.
Countdown adds a Layout Builder widget for a scheduled target using an IANA timezone and normalized UTC value. Its public output includes a fallback state and time-change announcements.
Editors set the target, timezone, labels, and optional call to action in Layout Builder, and visitors see the remaining time on the public page.
Evidence: src/Filament/CountdownWidget.php, resources/views/widget.blade.php, tests/Feature/WidgetCountdownTest.php, capell.json.
Status details:
- Status: Available
- Tier: free
- Bundle: foundation
- Composer package:
capell-app/widget-countdown - Namespace:
Capell\WidgetCountdown - Theme key: not applicable
Why It Matters
Section titled “Why It Matters”For developers: Typed input and render boundaries normalize time handling and reject invalid timezone or unsafe call-to-action values before rendering.
For teams: Campaign and event teams can publish a clear deadline without hand-calculating visitor-facing timezone differences.
Evidence: src/Providers/WidgetCountdownServiceProvider.php, src/Filament/CountdownWidget.php, tests/Feature/WidgetCountdownTest.php, resources/views/widget.blade.php.

widget-countdowncache tags.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”| Symptom | Likely cause | Check | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Package surface is missing after install | Provider or manifest is not loaded | Confirm capell.json, package composer.json, and provider registration | Reinstall the package, refresh Composer autoload, and clear host caches |
| Public output leaks unexpected state | Render data, cache variation, or authoring boundary has regressed | Check public Blade, cache tags, and public-output safety tests | Move data loading out of Blade and rerun the package public-output tests |
