I'd like to use momentjs to use a given amount of seconds (e.g. 65) and format that to minutes and seconds (so in the case of 65 seconds it should format it to '01:05'). I've looked around the momentjs docs and also here but I couldn't quite get to the right solution. I know there's a way to do this with just pure JavaScript, but I'd like to use momentjs for this.
Any suggestions?
If you insist on doing this using moment.js, you can do something like this:
Start with a 00:00:00.000 time and add seconds, minutes, etc. to it.
Here is an example:
const result = moment("00:00:00.000", "hh:mm:ss.SSS").add(65, "s").format("mm:ss");
console.log(result);
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/momentjs/2.14.1/moment-with-locales.min.js"></script>
The problem is that since this is the time of a date, when you add 24 hours to it, you'll end up with 00:00:00 instead of 24:00:00.

I have from a software a output like this timevalue:
15606260000 s
I don't know what format this is. The value in minutes is approximately 30 minute
How can I convert this with javascript in hour:min:seconds?
I think this is a epoch time or so?
this looks like a unix timestamp value (count in seconds since 01/01/1970)
what you can do in javascript is:
let d = new Date(15606260000); console.log(d.getUTCHours() + ":"+ d.getUTCMinutes() +":"+ d.getUTCSeconds());
and you can take it from there
You can use this link for a proper documentation
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
keep in mind that JS time is in milliseconds most of the times you need to multiply by 1000
I get hours as strings in my app, e.g. "2230". I would like to be able to add minutes to it, so as to simulate the time that it will be after those minutes have been added to it, e.g.
//"2230" + "60"mins = "23:30"
//"2230" + "180"mins = "02:30"
I read that Moment.js could be a solution to this, but I couldn't figure out:
what the right way to format the hours initially is with moment("2230").format()
how to add minutes to it
how to make it behave like a 24-hour clock when adding to it
Moment is a great tool for doing this. It takes some syntax tricks to get it right, but I think this is what you're looking for:
moment("2230", "HH:mm")
.add(60, "minutes")
.format("HH:mm")
Feel free to play around with it here:
https://codesandbox.io/s/proud-pine-lz0fs?file=/src/index.js
As you can see, as long as your time string is always 4 characters long, moment can extract the HH:mm format, then you can add minutes, and then format the final output to HH:mm again.
Here are 2 great resources:
https://techstream.org/Bits/Javascript/Javascript-Parse-time
https://flaviocopes.com/momentjs/
Hope that helps!
First you have to split this string to get the hours and minutes from it.
const s= "2230"
const hour = s.substring(0,2);
const min = s.substring(2,4);
After that you can easily pass this hours and min to a moment.
const time = moment()
.set({"hour": hour, "minute": min})
.add(60, 'minutes')
.format("HH:mm");
the .set is to set the time (hours minutes)
the .add is to add the minutes you wanted to add
the .format is to format the output as you pleased,
NOTE the capital "HH" means 24/h clock while "hh" means 12/h clock
I'm Using momentjs to find the time until a date.
moment(end).locale('nl').fromNow('s')
Currently using this, only this this returns 1 day
I'm looking for something like 86400
Is this possible with momentjs?
as of October 2018 , you can also do this :
const date = '20181031'
const time = '16:25:26'
console.log(moment().diff('2018/10/31 18:14:00')) // time difference in milliseconds
I manage to fix it using the following line of code
moment().diff(end, "seconds")
Note: this will give a negative time
Given a duration of a number of seconds coming from an API as duration_seconds = 86485.
(1 day, 0 hours, 1 minute, 1 second)
I was going to use moment.js to convert this into formatted duration as follows:
1. {d} {hh}:{mm}:{ss} (1d 00:01:01)
2. {d}d {hh}h m{mm} s{ss} (1d 04h 30m 23s)
I would also like to ensure the following:
Days are trimmed if days is 0 (00:01:01 - for 1 minute 1 second)
hh:mm:ss are never trimmed, 1 second shows as 00:00:01.
I can create the duration like this:
moment.duration(duration_seconds, 'seconds')
The humanize function is not suitable as it approximates.
I can also write my own with:
duration.get('d')
duration.get('h')
duration.get('m')
duration.get('s')
I can't seem to find a built in function but I assume this would be an obvious one? Is there something I am missing, otherwise I can PR one into moment library.
This seems to imply that the function still does not exist:
Using moment.js, How can I simplify a duration to its most simplified form?
The moment-duration-format plugin can assist you with this.
// your input
var duration_seconds = 86485;
// create a moment-duration object
var duration = moment.duration(duration_seconds, 'seconds');
// format the object with a string
var formatted = duration.format('h[h] m[m] s[s]');
// displaying the output here
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = formatted;
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment-duration-format/1.3.0/moment-duration-format.min.js"></script>
<div id="output" />
Note that by default it will omit units that are not relevant, so if your input is 3, it's just going to say "3s", not "0h 0m 3s".
If you want to change this behavior, set trim:false, per the documentation. For example, to get the format you mentioned in comments, use:
.format('hh:mm:ss', { trim: false })
Maybe you can try this?
moment(duration).format("DD MMM YYYY hh:mm: a")
Though you might have to convert your seconds to milliseconds. This can be done by saying duration * 1000.
Found from this answer: Moment js convert milliseconds into date and time
I have a start and end time in the format of HH:MM and I need to get the total time in hours. I have tried a couple methods like trimming the string to an hour and minutes then multiplying the hours by 60 and adding the minutes but since the minute string is two digits, 00 I get an answer that is a power of ten greater than what I need. I also feel like this approach is inefficient.
So what is the best way to subtract 04:30 and 22:00? I also have access to moment.js if that is helpful.
Using moment.js' difference
var a = moment('22:00', 'HH:mm');
var b = moment('04:30', 'HH:mm');
a.diff(b, 'hours', true)
