Call SurveyJS Method StartTimer()

[jahuang24]

I am currently using the survey plugin's quiz model to run an experiment where participants have 10 seconds to answer a text reply question. The participants must wait the full 10 seconds before moving on to the next question. I am using the quiz model's timer feature to get this done, but I would like to have the timer hidden. Unfortunately, the timer does not start if it is hidden. Usually, if I were just using the SurveyJS plugin, I could call the StartTimer() method, but I am not sure how to do so with JSPsych

Here is an example of how it would be done with SurveyJS

const surveyJson = { ... };
const survey = new Survey.Model(surveyJson);

survey.startTimer();

Here is an example of what I am doing with JSPsych

const example_json = {
        title: "",
        showTimerPanel: "none",
        maxTimeToFinishPage: 10,
        showNavigationButtons: false,
        sendResultOnPageNext: false,
        pages: [{
            title: " ",
            elements: [{
                name: "response",
                type: "text",
                title: "testing testing 1 2 3"
}]}]};

const example = {
        type: jsPsychSurvey,
        survey_json: example_json
};
//Some code to start the timer for "example"
