const stopwatch = useStopwatch(autoStart);
</script>

keyTypeRequiredDescription
autoStartbooleanNoif set to true stopwatch will auto start, by default it is set to false
offsetTimestampnumberNothis will define the initial stopwatch offset example: const stopwatchOffset = new Date(); stopwatchOffset.setSeconds(stopwatchOffset.getSeconds() + 300); this will result in a 5 minutes offset and stopwatch will start from 0:0:5:0 instead of 0:0:0:0
