MMM-EventCountdown - A countdown for holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and other upcoming events

[trnitz]

A customizable MagicMirror² module for counting down to birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, appointments, trips, and other events.

The nearest event is presented as a stable, live days/hours/minutes/seconds countdown with an optional emoji. A rotating, days-only summary of the later upcoming events fades in and out beneath it; the active main event is excluded from that rotation.

Features

• Displays the nearest upcoming event as the main countdown.
• Shows days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
• Offers digital, flip-clock, progress-ring, and hourglass counter styles.
• Rotates through days-only summaries of later upcoming events without repeating the active main event.
• Supports fixed dates, calculated Easter dates, and weekday-based rules.
• Repeats events annually by default.
• Supports one-time events with repeatYearly: false.
• Displays an optional emoji for the main event and its rotating summary.

Project origins
This project combines and extends ideas from two open-source MagicMirror modules:

TouaregWarrior/MMM-HolidayCountdown provides the original holiday/trip countdown module on which this project is based.
double-ratchet/MMM-AnimatedCountdowns, by ElliAndDad, provides the basis for the digital, flip, progress-ring, and hourglass counter styles adapted here.

The resulting module adds four selectable counter styles, rotating event summaries, reusable yearly events, one-time events, movable-date rules, calculated Easter dates, and per-event emojis.
