I want to restart at will.

[Emmanuel Akinde]

I need to restart the countdown without changing the seconds.

[Christoph Michel]

Good idea, thanks for the contribution, Just see my comment at your PR #7 about the implementation details

[Mustafa KÜÇÜK]

I solved it like this

I added

restartCount(nextProps){  
  this.setState(getInitialState(this.props), this.restartAnimation)
}

in
react-native-countdown-circle/src/index.js

and

          <CountdownCircle
            ref = {ref => this.countdown = ref}
           ...

I can use.

this.countdown.restartCount();

You don't need the nextProps argument, but that's how I imagined it 👍

If you like, you can create a PR

@mustafakucuk will be expecting your PR

[Ridwan Foxdreem]

@mustafakucuk i cant implement that, can you show me how to do this with real example maybe

[Christoph Michel]

The recommended way to do this is by setting a different key as this will completely remove and remount the component. See React Blog for this pattern.
