How can I convert seconds to an HH-MM-SS string using JavaScript?

You can manage to do this without any external JavaScript library with the help of JavaScript Date method like following:
const date = new Date(null);
date.setSeconds(SECONDS); // specify value for SECONDS here
const result = date.toISOString().slice(11, 19);
Or, as per #Frank's comment; a one liner:
new Date(SECONDS * 1000).toISOString().slice(11, 19);

Updated (2020):
Please use #Frank's one line solution:
new Date(SECONDS * 1000).toISOString().substring(11, 16)
If SECONDS<3600 and if you want to show only MM:SS then use below code:
new Date(SECONDS * 1000).toISOString().substring(14, 19)
It is by far the best solution.
Old answer:
Use the Moment.js library.

I don't think any built-in feature of the standard Date object will do this for you in a way that's more convenient than just doing the math yourself.
hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
totalSeconds %= 3600;
minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 60);
seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
Example:
let totalSeconds = 28565;
let hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
totalSeconds %= 3600;
let minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 60);
let seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
console.log("hours: " + hours);
console.log("minutes: " + minutes);
console.log("seconds: " + seconds);
// If you want strings with leading zeroes:
minutes = String(minutes).padStart(2, "0");
hours = String(hours).padStart(2, "0");
seconds = String(seconds).padStart(2, "0");
console.log(hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);

I know this is kinda old, but...
ES2015:
var toHHMMSS = (secs) => {
var sec_num = parseInt(secs, 10)
var hours = Math.floor(sec_num / 3600)
var minutes = Math.floor(sec_num / 60) % 60
var seconds = sec_num % 60
return [hours,minutes,seconds]
.map(v => v < 10 ? "0" + v : v)
.filter((v,i) => v !== "00" || i > 0)
.join(":")
}
It will output:
toHHMMSS(129600) // 36:00:00
toHHMMSS(13545) // 03:45:45
toHHMMSS(180) // 03:00
toHHMMSS(18) // 00:18

As Cleiton pointed out in his answer, moment.js can be used for this:
moment().startOf('day')
.seconds(15457)
.format('H:mm:ss');

Here's a simple function for converting times that might help
function formatSeconds(seconds) {
var date = new Date(1970,0,1);
date.setSeconds(seconds);
return date.toTimeString().replace(/.*(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}).*/, "$1");
}

This does the trick:
function secondstotime(secs)
{
var t = new Date(1970,0,1);
t.setSeconds(secs);
var s = t.toTimeString().substr(0,8);
if(secs > 86399)
s = Math.floor((t - Date.parse("1/1/70")) / 3600000) + s.substr(2);
return s;
}
(Sourced from here)

var timeInSec = "661"; //even it can be string
String.prototype.toHHMMSS = function () {
/* extend the String by using prototypical inheritance */
var seconds = parseInt(this, 10); // don't forget the second param
var hours = Math.floor(seconds / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((seconds - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
seconds = seconds - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
if (hours < 10) {hours = "0"+hours;}
if (minutes < 10) {minutes = "0"+minutes;}
if (seconds < 10) {seconds = "0"+seconds;}
var time = hours+':'+minutes+':'+seconds;
return time;
}
alert("5678".toHHMMSS()); // "01:34:38"
console.log(timeInSec.toHHMMSS()); //"00:11:01"
we can make this function lot shorter and crisp but that decreases the readability, so we will write it as simple as possible and as stable as possible.
or you can check this working here:

Try this:
function toTimeString(seconds) {
return (new Date(seconds * 1000)).toUTCString().match(/(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)/)[0];
}

I think the most general (and cryptic) solution could be this
function hms(seconds) {
return [3600, 60]
.reduceRight(
(pipeline, breakpoint) => remainder =>
[Math.floor(remainder / breakpoint)].concat(pipeline(remainder % breakpoint)),
r => [r]
)(seconds)
.map(amount => amount.toString().padStart(2, '0'))
.join('-');
}
Or to copy & paste the shortest version
function hms(seconds) {
return [3600, 60]
.reduceRight(
(p, b) => r => [Math.floor(r / b)].concat(p(r % b)),
r => [r]
)(seconds)
.map(a => a.toString().padStart(2, '0'))
.join('-');
}
Some example outputs:
> hms(0)
< "00-00-00"
> hms(5)
< "00-00-05"
> hms(60)
< "00-01-00"
> hms(3785)
< "01-03-05"
> hms(37850)
< "10-30-50"
> hms(378500)
< "105-08-20"
How it works
Algorithm
To get hours you divide total seconds by 3600 and floor it.
To get minutes you divide remainder by 60 and floor it.
To get seconds you just use the remainder.
It would also be nice to keep individual amounts in an array for easier formatting.
For example given the input of 3785s the output should be [1, 3, 5], that is 1 hour, 3 minutes and 5 seconds.
Creating pipeline
Naming the 3600 and 60 constants "breakpoints" you can write this algorithm into function as this
function divideAndAppend(remainder, breakpoint, callback) {
return [Math.floor(remainder / breakpoint)].concat(callback(remainder % breakpoint));
}
It returns an array where first item is the amount for given breakpoint and the rest of the array is given by the callback.
Reusing the divideAndAppend in callback function will give you a pipeline of composed divideAndAppend functions. Each one of these
computes amount per given breakpoint and append it to the array making your desired output.
Then you also need the "final" callback that ends this pipeline. In another words you used all breakpoints and now you have only the remainder.
Since you have already the answer at 3) you should use some sort of identity function, in this case remainder => [remainder].
You can now write the pipeline like this
let pipeline = r3 => divideAndAppend(
r3,
3600,
r2 => divideAndAppend(
r2,
60,
r1 => [r1]));
> pipeline(3785)
< [1, 3, 5]
Cool right?
Generalizing using for-loop
Now you can generalize with a variable amount of breakpoints and create a for-loop that will compose individial divideAndAppend functions into
the pipeline.
You start with the identity function r1 => [r1], then use the 60 breakpoint and finally use the 3600 breakpoint.
let breakpoints = [60, 3600];
let pipeline = r => [r];
for (const b of breakpoints) {
const previousPipeline = pipeline;
pipeline = r => divideAndAppend(r, b, previousPipeline);
}
> pipeline(3785)
< [1, 3, 5]
Using Array.prototype.reduce()
Now you can rewrite this for-loop into reducer for shorter and more functional code. In other words rewrite function composition into the reducer.
let pipeline = [60, 3600].reduce(
(ppln, b) => r => divideAndAppend(r, b, ppln),
r => [r]
);
> pipeline(3785)
< [1, 3, 5]
The accumulator ppln is the pipeline and you are composing it using the previous version of it. The initial pipeline is r => [r].
You can now inline the function divideAndAppend and use Array.prototype.reduceRight which is the same as [].reverse().reduce(...) to make the breakpoints
definitions more natural.
let pipeline = [3600, 60]
.reduceRight(
(ppln, b) => r => [Math.floor(r / b)].concat(ppln(r % b)),
r => [r]
);
Which is the final form. Then you just appy mapping to string with padded 0's on left and join the strings with : separator;
More generalizations
Wrapping the reducer into function
function decompose(total, breakpoints) {
return breakpoints.reduceRight(
(p, b) => r => [Math.floor(r / b)].concat(p(r % b)),
r => [r]
)(total);
}
> decompose(3785, [3600, 60])
< [1, 3, 5]
you now have very general algorithm you can work with. For example:
Convert easily (the weird) us length standards
Given the standards
Unit
Divisions
1 foot
12 inches
1 yard
3 feet
1 mile
1760 yards
> decompose(123_456, [1760 * 3 * 12, 3 * 12, 12])
< [1, 1669, 1, 0]
123456 in = 1 mi, 1669 yd, 1 feet and 0 in
Or you can somewhat convert to decimal or binary representations
> decompose(123_456, [100_000, 10_000, 1000, 100, 10])
< [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
> decompose(127, [128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2])
< [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
Works also with floating point breakpoints
Since Javascript supports mod operator with floating point numbers, you can also do
> decompose(26.5, [20, 2.5])
< [1, 2, 1.5]
The edge case of no breakpoints is also naturally covered
> decompose(123, [])
< [123]

Here is an extension to Number class. toHHMMSS() converts seconds to an hh:mm:ss string.
Number.prototype.toHHMMSS = function() {
var hours = Math.floor(this / 3600) < 10 ? ("00" + Math.floor(this / 3600)).slice(-2) : Math.floor(this / 3600);
var minutes = ("00" + Math.floor((this % 3600) / 60)).slice(-2);
var seconds = ("00" + (this % 3600) % 60).slice(-2);
return hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
}
// Usage: [number variable].toHHMMSS();
// Here is a simple test
var totalseconds = 1234;
document.getElementById("timespan").innerHTML = totalseconds.toHHMMSS();
// HTML of the test
<div id="timespan"></div>

Easy to follow version for noobies:
var totalNumberOfSeconds = YOURNUMBEROFSECONDS;
var hours = parseInt( totalNumberOfSeconds / 3600 );
var minutes = parseInt( (totalNumberOfSeconds - (hours * 3600)) / 60 );
var seconds = Math.floor((totalNumberOfSeconds - ((hours * 3600) + (minutes * 60))));
var result = (hours < 10 ? "0" + hours : hours) + ":" + (minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes) + ":" + (seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds);
console.log(result);

This function should do it :
var convertTime = function (input, separator) {
var pad = function(input) {return input < 10 ? "0" + input : input;};
return [
pad(Math.floor(input / 3600)),
pad(Math.floor(input % 3600 / 60)),
pad(Math.floor(input % 60)),
].join(typeof separator !== 'undefined' ? separator : ':' );
}
Without passing a separator, it uses : as the (default) separator :
time = convertTime(13551.9941351); // --> OUTPUT = 03:45:51
If you want to use - as a separator, just pass it as the second parameter:
time = convertTime(1126.5135155, '-'); // --> OUTPUT = 00-18-46
See also this Fiddle.

Chiming in on this old thread -- the OP stated HH:MM:SS, and many of the solutions work, until you realize you need more than 24 hours listed. And maybe you don't want more than a single line of code. Here you go:
d=(s)=>{f=Math.floor;g=(n)=>('00'+n).slice(-2);return f(s/3600)+':'+g(f(s/60)%60)+':'+g(s%60)}
It returns H+:MM:SS. To use it, simply use:
d(91260); // returns "25:21:00"
d(960); // returns "0:16:00"
...I tried to get it to use the least amount of code possible, for a nice one-liner approach.

For the special case of HH:MM:SS.MS (eq: "00:04:33.637") as used by FFMPEG to specify milliseconds.
[-][HH:]MM:SS[.m...]
HH expresses the number of hours, MM the number of minutes for a
maximum of 2 digits, and SS the number of seconds for a maximum of 2
digits. The m at the end expresses decimal value for SS.
/* HH:MM:SS.MS to (FLOAT)seconds ---------------*/
function timerToSec(timer){
let vtimer = timer.split(":")
let vhours = +vtimer[0]
let vminutes = +vtimer[1]
let vseconds = parseFloat(vtimer[2])
return vhours * 3600 + vminutes * 60 + vseconds
}
/* Seconds to (STRING)HH:MM:SS.MS --------------*/
function secToTimer(sec){
let o = new Date(0)
let p = new Date(sec*1000)
return new Date(p.getTime()-o.getTime())
.toISOString()
.split("T")[1]
.split("Z")[0]
}
/* Example: 7hours, 4 minutes, 33 seconds and 637 milliseconds */
const t = "07:04:33.637"
console.log(
t + " => " +
timerToSec(t) +
"s"
)
/* Test: 25473 seconds and 637 milliseconds */
const s = 25473.637 // "25473.637"
console.log(
s + "s => " +
secToTimer(s)
)
Example usage, a milliseconds transport timer:
/* Seconds to (STRING)HH:MM:SS.MS --------------*/
function secToTimer(sec){
let o = new Date(0)
let p = new Date(sec*1000)
return new Date(p.getTime()-o.getTime())
.toISOString()
.split("T")[1]
.split("Z")[0]
}
let job, origin = new Date().getTime()
const timer = () => {
job = requestAnimationFrame(timer)
OUT.textContent = secToTimer((new Date().getTime() - origin) / 1000)
}
requestAnimationFrame(timer)

Outside the question, those functions written in php:
<?php
/* HH:MM:SS to (FLOAT)seconds ------------------*/
function timerToSec($timer){
$vtimer = explode(":",$timer);
$vhours = (int)$vtimer[0];
$vminutes = (int)$vtimer[1];
$vseconds = (float)$vtimer[2];
return $vhours * 3600 + $vminutes * 60 + $vseconds;
}
/* Seconds to (STRING)HH:MM:SS -----------------*/
function secToTimer($sec){
return explode(" ", date("H:i:s", $sec))[0];
}

After looking at all the answers and not being happy with most of them, this is what I came up with. I know I am very late to the conversation, but here it is anyway.
function secsToTime(secs){
var time = new Date();
// create Date object and set to today's date and time
time.setHours(parseInt(secs/3600) % 24);
time.setMinutes(parseInt(secs/60) % 60);
time.setSeconds(parseInt(secs%60));
time = time.toTimeString().split(" ")[0];
// time.toString() = "HH:mm:ss GMT-0800 (PST)"
// time.toString().split(" ") = ["HH:mm:ss", "GMT-0800", "(PST)"]
// time.toTimeString().split(" ")[0]; = "HH:mm:ss"
return time;
}
I create a new Date object, change the time to my parameters, convert the Date Object to a time string, and removed the additional stuff by splitting the string and returning only the part that need.
I thought I would share this approach, since it removes the need for regex, logic and math acrobatics to get the results in "HH:mm:ss" format, and instead it relies on built in methods.
You may want to take a look at the documentation here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

below is the given code which will convert seconds into hh-mm-ss format:
var measuredTime = new Date(null);
measuredTime.setSeconds(4995); // specify value of SECONDS
var MHSTime = measuredTime.toISOString().substr(11, 8);

I just wanted to give a little explanation to the nice answer above:
var totalSec = new Date().getTime() / 1000;
var hours = parseInt( totalSec / 3600 ) % 24;
var minutes = parseInt( totalSec / 60 ) % 60;
var seconds = totalSec % 60;
var result = (hours < 10 ? "0" + hours : hours) + "-" + (minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes) + "-" + (seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds);
On the second line, since there are 3600 seconds in 1 hour, we divide the total number of seconds by 3600 to get the total number of hours. We use parseInt to strip off any decimal. If totalSec was 12600 (3 and half hours), then parseInt( totalSec / 3600 ) would return 3, since we will have 3 full hours. Why do we need the % 24 in this case? If we exceed 24 hours, let's say we have 25 hours (90000 seconds), then the modulo here will take us back to 1 again, rather than returning 25. It is confining the result within a 24 hour limit, since there are 24 hours in one day.
When you see something like this:
25 % 24
Think of it like this:
25 mod 24 or what is the remainder when we divide 25 by 24

None of the answers here satisfies my requirements as I want to be able to handle
Large numbers of seconds (days), and
Negative numbers
Although those are not required by the OP, it's good practice to cover edge cases, especially when it takes little effort.
It's pretty obvious is that the OP means a NUMBER of seconds when he says seconds. Why would peg your function on String?
function secondsToTimeSpan(seconds) {
const value = Math.abs(seconds);
const days = Math.floor(value / 1440);
const hours = Math.floor((value - (days * 1440)) / 3600);
const min = Math.floor((value - (days * 1440) - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
const sec = value - (days * 1440) - (hours * 3600) - (min * 60);
return `${seconds < 0 ? '-':''}${days > 0 ? days + '.':''}${hours < 10 ? '0' + hours:hours}:${min < 10 ? '0' + min:min}:${sec < 10 ? '0' + sec:sec}`
}
secondsToTimeSpan(0); // => 00:00:00
secondsToTimeSpan(1); // => 00:00:01
secondsToTimeSpan(1440); // => 1.00:00:00
secondsToTimeSpan(-1440); // => -1.00:00:00
secondsToTimeSpan(-1); // => -00:00:01

Simple function to convert seconds into in hh:mm:ss format :
function getHHMMSSFromSeconds(totalSeconds) {
if (!totalSeconds) {
return '00:00:00';
}
const hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
const minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds % 3600 / 60);
const seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
const hhmmss = padTo2(hours) + ':' + padTo2(minutes) + ':' + padTo2(seconds);
return hhmmss;
}
// function to convert single digit to double digit
function padTo2(value) {
if (!value) {
return '00';
}
return value < 10 ? String(value).padStart(2, '0') : value;
}

Here is a function to convert seconds to hh-mm-ss format based on powtac's answer here
jsfiddle
/**
* Convert seconds to hh-mm-ss format.
* #param {number} totalSeconds - the total seconds to convert to hh- mm-ss
**/
var SecondsTohhmmss = function(totalSeconds) {
var hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((totalSeconds - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
var seconds = totalSeconds - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
// round seconds
seconds = Math.round(seconds * 100) / 100
var result = (hours < 10 ? "0" + hours : hours);
result += "-" + (minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes);
result += "-" + (seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds);
return result;
}
Example use
var seconds = SecondsTohhmmss(70);
console.log(seconds);
// logs 00-01-10

There are lots of options of solve this problem, and obvious there are good option suggested about, But I wants to add one more optimized code here
function formatSeconds(sec) {
return [(sec / 3600), ((sec % 3600) / 60), ((sec % 3600) % 60)]
.map(v => v < 10 ? "0" + parseInt(v) : parseInt(v))
.filter((i, j) => i !== "00" || j > 0)
.join(":");
}
if you don't wants formatted zero with less then 10 number, you can use
function formatSeconds(sec) {
return parseInt(sec / 3600) + ':' + parseInt((sec % 3600) / 60) + ':' + parseInt((sec % 3600) % 60);
}
Sample Code http://fiddly.org/1c476/1

In one line, using T.J. Crowder's solution :
secToHHMMSS = seconds => `${Math.floor(seconds / 3600)}:${Math.floor((seconds % 3600) / 60)}:${Math.floor((seconds % 3600) % 60)}`
In one line, another solution that also count days :
secToDHHMMSS = seconds => `${parseInt(seconds / 86400)}d ${new Date(seconds * 1000).toISOString().substr(11, 8)}`
Source : https://gist.github.com/martinbean/2bf88c446be8048814cf02b2641ba276

var sec_to_hms = function(sec){
var min, hours;
sec = sec - (min = Math.floor(sec/60))*60;
min = min - (hours = Math.floor(min/60))*60;
return (hours?hours+':':'') + ((min+'').padStart(2, '0')) + ':'+ ((sec+'').padStart(2, '0'));
}
alert(sec_to_hms(2442542));

Have you tried adding seconds to a Date object?
Date.prototype.addSeconds = function(seconds) {
this.setSeconds(this.getSeconds() + seconds);
};
var dt = new Date();
dt.addSeconds(1234);
A sample:
https://jsfiddle.net/j5g2p0dc/5/
Updated:
Sample link was missing so I created a new one.

You can also use below code:
int ss = nDur%60;
nDur = nDur/60;
int mm = nDur%60;
int hh = nDur/60;

For anyone using AngularJS, a simple solution is to filter the value with the date API, which converts milliseconds to a string based on the requested format. Example:
<div>Offer ends in {{ timeRemaining | date: 'HH:mm:ss' }}</div>
Note that this expects milliseconds, so you may want to multiply timeRemaining by 1000 if you are converting from seconds (as the original question was formulated).

I ran into the case some have mentioned where the number of seconds is more than a day. Here's an adapted version of #Harish Anchu's top-rated answer that accounts for longer periods of time:
function secondsToTime(seconds) {
const arr = new Date(seconds * 1000).toISOString().substr(11, 8).split(':');
const days = Math.floor(seconds / 86400);
arr[0] = parseInt(arr[0], 10) + days * 24;
return arr.join(':');
}
Example:
secondsToTime(101596) // outputs '28:13:16' as opposed to '04:13:16'

String.prototype.toHHMMSS = function () {
var sec_num = parseInt(this, 10); // don't forget the second param
var hours = Math.floor(sec_num / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((sec_num - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
var seconds = sec_num - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
if (hours < 10) {hours = "0"+hours;}
if (minutes < 10) {minutes = "0"+minutes;}
if (seconds < 10) {seconds = "0"+seconds;}
return hours+':'+minutes+':'+seconds;
}
Usage Example
alert("186".toHHMMSS());

Converting Float to Time in Javascript

I am having a three String or Float values say 9.30, 8.00 and 0.40 as Total_hour, Paid_hour, Extra_hour
These should be actually 9 hours 30 minutes, 8 hours 0 minutes, 0 hours 40 minutes.
Question 1) How to convert 9.30 to 9 hours 30 minutes
Question 2) Later want to Subtract and get Remaining Hour = Total_hour-Paid_Hour-Extra_hour
Later the answer Remaining Hour should be in float

This should work.
You just need to convert to ms:
let timefloat = 9.3;
function convertToMs(timefloat) {
// Get the minutes portion
let remainder = timefloat % 1;
// Convert into ms
let minutes = remainder * 100 * 60 * 1000;
// Get the number of hours and convert to ms
let hours = (timefloat - remainder) * 60 * 60 * 1000;
return minutes + hours;
}
// Convert back to float format
function convertToFloat(date) {
let hours = date.getUTCHours();
let mins = date.getUTCMinutes();
return hours + (mins / 100);
}
// Log the result
console.log(new Date(convertToMs(9.3)).toUTCString());
console.log(new Date(convertToMs(8.0)).toUTCString());
console.log(new Date(convertToMs(9.3) - convertToMs(8.0)).toUTCString());
let diff = convertToMs(9.3) - convertToMs(8.0);
console.log(convertToFloat(new Date(diff)))

The following javascript snippet converts a given float to hours and minutes. Source float to time
function convertNumToTime(number) {
// Check sign of given number
var sign = (number >= 0) ? 1 : -1;
// Set positive value of number of sign negative
number = number * sign;
// Separate the int from the decimal part
var hour = Math.floor(number);
var decpart = number - hour;
var min = 1 / 60;
// Round to nearest minute
decpart = min * Math.round(decpart / min);
var minute = Math.floor(decpart * 60) + '';
// Add padding if need
if (minute.length < 2) {
minute = '0' + minute;
}
// Add Sign in final result
sign = sign == 1 ? '' : '-';
// Concate hours and minutes
time = sign + hour + ':' + minute;
return time;
}
console.log(convertNumToTime(11.15));
Output
11:09

First convert the number in minutes and then do your subtraction. Then convert your output to hours.
var Total_hour = '9.30',
Paid_hour = '8.00',
Extra_hour = '0.40';
var conversionInMinutes = hour => Math.floor(hour) * 60 + (hour - (Math.floor(hour))) * 100;
var conversionInHours = min => Math.floor( min/60 ) + min % 60 / 100;
var Remaining_hour = conversionInMinutes(Total_hour) - conversionInMinutes(Paid_hour) - conversionInMinutes(Extra_hour);
console.log(conversionInHours(Remaining_hour).toFixed(2));

function doTime(input)
{
input = input.toString()
inputs = input.split(".")
return (inputs[0] + "Hour and" + inputs[1] + "minutes")
}
doTime("9:22")
function substract2
function subtract2(a , b){
a = input.toString()
arrayA = input.split(".")
b = input.toString()
arrayB = input.split(".")
h = parseInt(arrayB[0]) - parseInt(arrayA[0])
h <0 ? h+=12/*or 24*/ :h=h
m = parseInt(arrayB[1]) - parseInt(arrayA[1])
if(m<0){h-- ; m+=60}
return h.toString() + ":" + m.toString()
}

Calculate Time Difference with JavaScript

I have two HTML input boxes, that need to calculate the time difference in JavaScript onBlur (since I need it in real time) and insert the result to new input box.
Format example: 10:00 & 12:30 need to give me: 02:30
Thanks!

Here is one possible solution:
function diff(start, end) {
start = start.split(":");
end = end.split(":");
var startDate = new Date(0, 0, 0, start[0], start[1], 0);
var endDate = new Date(0, 0, 0, end[0], end[1], 0);
var diff = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime();
var hours = Math.floor(diff / 1000 / 60 / 60);
diff -= hours * 1000 * 60 * 60;
var minutes = Math.floor(diff / 1000 / 60);
// If using time pickers with 24 hours format, add the below line get exact hours
if (hours < 0)
hours = hours + 24;
return (hours <= 9 ? "0" : "") + hours + ":" + (minutes <= 9 ? "0" : "") + minutes;
}
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/KQQqp/

Try This
var dif = ( new Date("1970-1-1 " + end-time) - new Date("1970-1-1 " + start-time) ) / 1000 / 60 / 60;

tl;dr
One off run
const t1 = new Date(1579876543210) // your initial time
const t2 = new Date(1579987654321) // your later time
const diff = t2-t1
const SEC = 1000, MIN = 60 * SEC, HRS = 60 * MIN
const humanDiff = `${Math.floor(diff/HRS)}:${Math.floor((diff%HRS)/MIN).toLocaleString('en-US', {minimumIntegerDigits: 2})}:${Math.floor((diff%MIN)/SEC).toLocaleString('en-US', {minimumIntegerDigits: 2})}.${Math.floor(diff % SEC).toLocaleString('en-US', {minimumIntegerDigits: 4, useGrouping: false})}`
console.log("humanDiff:", humanDiff)
// > humanDiff: 30:51:51.0111
As a function
function humanDiff (t1, t2) {
const diff = Math.max(t1,t2) - Math.min(t1,t2)
const SEC = 1000, MIN = 60 * SEC, HRS = 60 * MIN
const hrs = Math.floor(diff/HRS)
const min = Math.floor((diff%HRS)/MIN).toLocaleString('en-US', {minimumIntegerDigits: 2})
const sec = Math.floor((diff%MIN)/SEC).toLocaleString('en-US', {minimumIntegerDigits: 2})
const ms = Math.floor(diff % SEC).toLocaleString('en-US', {minimumIntegerDigits: 4, useGrouping: false})
return `${hrs}:${min}:${sec}.${ms}`
}
const t1 = new Date(1579876543210)
const t2 = new Date(1579987654321)
console.log("humanDiff(t1, t2):", humanDiff(t1, t2))
// > humanDiff: 30:51:51.0111
Explanation
Adjust humanDiff for your maximum and minimum reportable increments and formatting needs:
const t1 = new Date(1579876543210) // Set your initial time (`t1`)
const t2 = new Date(1579986654321) // , conclusion time (`t2`), and
const diff = t2-t1 // calculate their difference in milliseconds
console.log(" t2:", t2.toISOString()) // > t2: 2020-01-25T21:27:34.321Z
console.log(" t1:", t1.toISOString()) // > t1: 2020-01-24T14:35:43.210Z
console.log(" diff:", diff) // > diff: 111111111
// Set your constant time values for easy readability
const SEC = 1000
const MIN = 60 * SEC
const HRS = 60 * MIN
/* For a given unit
1) disregard any previously relevant units, e.g. to calculate minutes, we can
disregard all hours & focus on only the remainder - `(diff%HRS)`
2) divide the remainder by the given unit, e.g. for minutes, `(diff%HRS)/MIN`
3) disregard any remainder, e.g. again for minutes, `Math.floor((diff%HRS)/MIN)`
NOTE: for your maximum unit (HRS in the examples below) you probably _don't_
want to disregard high values, e.g. If the difference is >24 hrs and something,
you should either include a DAYS value, or simply display 30 hrs */
let hrs = Math.floor(diff/HRS)
let min = Math.floor((diff%HRS)/MIN)
let sec = Math.floor((diff%MIN)/SEC)
let ms = Math.floor(diff % SEC) // just the remainder
// BUT ms IS NOT ACTUALLY CORRECT, see humanDiff_3 for the fix ;-)
let humanDiff_1 = `${hrs}:${min}:${sec}.${ms}`
console.log("humanDiff_1:", humanDiff_1)
// > humanDiff_1: 30:51:51.111
sec = Math.round((diff%MIN)/SEC) // can also just round the last unit
const humanDiff_2 = `${hrs} hrs ${min} mins & ${sec} secs`
console.log("humanDiff_2:", humanDiff_2)
// > humanDiff_2: 30 hrs 51 mins & 51 secs
/* To ensure a set number of digits, format the numbers with `toLocaleString`'s
`minimumIntegerDigits`, if more than 3 digits, also use its `useGrouping` */
hrs = Math.floor(diff/HRS)
min = Math.floor((diff%HRS)/MIN).toLocaleString('en-US', {minimumIntegerDigits: 2})
sec = Math.floor((diff%MIN)/SEC).toLocaleString('en-US', {minimumIntegerDigits: 2})
ms = Math.floor(diff % SEC).toLocaleString('en-US', {minimumIntegerDigits: 4, useGrouping: false})
const humanDiff_3 = `${hrs}:${min}:${sec}.${ms}`
console.log("humanDiff_3:", humanDiff_3)
// > humanDiff_3: 30:51:51.0111
// NOTE: milliseconds are now 4 digits

This solution works for calculating diff between to separate military times
Example format: start = 23:00 / end = 02:30
function diff(start, end) {
start = start.split(":");
end = end.split(":");
if(Number(start[0]) > Number(end[0]) ) {
var num = Number(start[0])
var countTo = Number(end[0]);
var count = 0;
for (var i = 1; num != countTo;) {
num = num + i
if(num > 24) {
num = 0
}
count++
}
var hours = count - 1;
var startDate = new Date(0, 0, 0, start[0], start[1], 0);
var endDate = new Date(0, 0, 0, end[0], end[1], 0);
if(startDate.getMinutes() > endDate.getMinutes()) {
var hours = count - 2;
var diff = 60 - (startDate.getMinutes() - endDate.getMinutes());
} else {
var diff = endDate.getMinutes() - startDate.getMinutes();
}
var minutes = diff
} else {
var startDate = new Date(0, 0, 0, start[0], start[1], 0);
var endDate = new Date(0, 0, 0, end[0], end[1], 0);
var diff = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime();
var hours = Math.floor(diff / 1000 / 60 / 60);
diff -= hours * 1000 * 60 * 60;
var minutes = Math.floor(diff / 1000 / 60);
}
var returnValue = (hours < 9 ? "0" : "") + hours + ":" + (minutes < 9 ? "0" : "") + minutes
return returnValue;
}

Well this work almost great. Now use this code to calculate: 23:50 - 00:10 And see what you get.Or even 23:30 - 01:30. That's a mess.
Because getting the answer the other way in php is:
$date1 = strtotime($_POST['started']);
$date2 = strtotime($_POST['ended']);
$interval = $date2 - $date1;
$playedtime = $interval / 60;
But still, it works like yours.
I guess have to bring in the dates aswell?
And again: My hard research and development helped me.
if (isset($_POST['calculate'])) {
$d1 = $_POST['started'];
$d2 = $_POST['ended'];
if ($d2 < $d1) {
$date22 = date('Y-m-');
$date222 = date('d')-1;
$date2 = $date22."".$date222;
} else {
$date2 = date('Y-m-d');
}
$date1 = date('Y-m-d');
$start_time = strtotime($date2.' '.$d1);
$end_time = strtotime($date1.' '.$d2); // or use date('Y-m-d H:i:s') for current time
$playedtime = round(abs($start_time - $end_time) / 60,2);
}
And that's how you calculate time over to the next day.
//edit. First i had date1 jnd date2 switched. I need to -1 because this calculation only comes on next day and the first date vas yesterday.
After improving and a lot of brain power with my friend we came up to this:
$begin=mktime(substr($_GET["start"], 0,2),substr($_GET["start"], 2,2),0,1,2,2003);
$end=mktime(substr($_GET["end"], 0,2),substr($_GET["end"], 2,2),0,1,3,2003);
$outcome=($end-$begin)-date("Z");
$minutes=date("i",$outcome)+date("H",$outcome)*60; //Echo minutes only
$hours = date("H:i", $outcome); //Echo time in hours + minutes like 01:10 or something.
So you actually need only 4 lines of code to get your result. You can take only minutes or show full time (like difference is 02:32) 2 hours and 32 minutes.
What's most important: Still you can calculate overnight in 24 hour clock aka: Start time 11:50PM to let's say 01:00 AM (in 24 hour clock 23:50 - 01:00) because in 12 hour mode it works anyway.
What's most important: You don't have to format your input. You can use just plain 2300 as 23:00 input. This script will convert text field input to correct format by itself.
Last script uses standard html form with method="get" but you can convert it to use POST method as well.

This is an updated version of one that was already submitted. It is with the seconds.

var endDate = new Date(0, 0, 0, end[0], end[1], 0);
var diff = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime();
var hours = Math.floor(diff / 1000 / 60 / 60);
diff -= hours * (1000 * 60 * 60);
var minutes = Math.floor(diff / 1000 / 60);
diff -= minutes * (1000 * 60);
var seconds = Math.floor(diff / 1000);
// If using time pickers with 24 hours format, add the below line get exact hours
if (hours < 0)
hours = hours + 24;
return (hours <= 9 ? "0" : "") + hours + ":" + (minutes <= 9 ? "0" : "") + minutes + (seconds<= 9 ? "0" : "") + seconds;

Try this: actually this a problem from codeeval.com
I solved it in this way .
This program takes a file as the argument so i used a little node js to read the file.
Here is my code.
var fs = require("fs");
fs.readFileSync(process.argv[2]).toString().split('\n').forEach(function (line) {
if (line !== "") {
var arr = line.split(" ");
var arr1 = arr[0].split(":");
var arr2 = arr[1].split(":");
var time1 = parseInt(arr1[0])*3600 + parseInt(arr1[1])*60 + parseInt(arr1[2]);
var time2 = parseInt(arr2[0])*3600 + parseInt(arr2[1])*60 + parseInt(arr2[2]);
var dif = Math.max(time1,time2) - Math.min(time1,time2);
var ans = [];
ans[0] = Math.floor(dif/3600);
if(ans[0]<10){ans[0] = "0"+ans[0]}
dif = dif%3600;
ans[1] = Math.floor(dif/60);
if(ans[1]<10){ans[1] = "0"+ans[1]}
ans[2] = dif%60;
if(ans[2]<10){ans[2] = "0"+ans[2]}
console.log(ans.join(":"));
}
});

We generally need time difference to estimate time taken by I/O operations, SP call etc, the simplest solution for NodeJs (the console is in callback- async execution) is following:
var startTime = new Date().getTime();
//This will give you current time in milliseconds since 1970-01-01
callYourExpectedFunction(param1, param2, function(err, result){
var endTime = new Date().getTime();
//This will give you current time in milliseconds since 1970-01-01
console.log(endTime - startTime)
//This will give you time taken in milliseconds by your function
if(err){
}
else{
}
})

How to round time to the nearest quarter hour in JavaScript?

For example:
Given time: 08:22 => Rounded to: 08:15
Given time: 08:23 => Rounded to: 08:30
Should be pretty simple. But all I was able to produce is lengthy, not very good code to solve the issue. My mind's just gone blank.
Regards

Given that you have hours and minutes in variables (if you don't you can get them from the Date instance anyway by using Date instance functions):
var m = (parseInt((minutes + 7.5)/15) * 15) % 60;
var h = minutes > 52 ? (hours === 23 ? 0 : ++hours) : hours;
minutes can as well be calculated by using Math.round():
var m = (Math.round(minutes/15) * 15) % 60;
or doing it in a more javascript-sophisticated expression without any functions:
var m = (((minutes + 7.5)/15 | 0) * 15) % 60;
var h = ((((minutes/105) + .5) | 0) + hours) % 24;
You can check the jsPerf test that shows Math.round() is the slowest of the three while mainly the last one being the fastest as it's just an expression without any function calls (no function call overhead i.e. stack manipulation, although native functions may be treated differently in Javascript VM).
//----

This function round the time to the nearest quarter hour.
function roundTimeQuarterHour(time) {
var timeToReturn = new Date(time);
timeToReturn.setMilliseconds(Math.round(timeToReturn.getMilliseconds() / 1000) * 1000);
timeToReturn.setSeconds(Math.round(timeToReturn.getSeconds() / 60) * 60);
timeToReturn.setMinutes(Math.round(timeToReturn.getMinutes() / 15) * 15);
return timeToReturn;
}

With Time String
Here is a method that will round a time string like the one you presented. Eg "08:22"
let roundTime = (time, minutesToRound) => {
let [hours, minutes] = time.split(':');
hours = parseInt(hours);
minutes = parseInt(minutes);
// Convert hours and minutes to time in minutes
time = (hours * 60) + minutes;
let rounded = Math.round(time / minutesToRound) * minutesToRound;
let rHr = ''+Math.floor(rounded / 60)
let rMin = ''+ rounded % 60
return rHr.padStart(2, '0')+':'+rMin.padStart(2, '0')
}
// USAGE //
// Round time to 15 minutes
roundTime('8:07', 15); // "08:00"
roundTime('7:53', 15); // "08:00"
roundTime('7:52', 15); // "07:45"
With Hours and Minutes Already Split Up
You can use this method if you don't need to parse out the hour and minute strings like your example shows
let roundTime = (hours, minutes, minutesToRound) => {
// Convert hours and minutes to minutes
time = (hours * 60) + minutes;
let rounded = Math.round(time / minutesToRound) * minutesToRound;
let roundedHours = Math.floor(rounded / 60)
let roundedMinutes = rounded % 60
return { hours: roundedHours, minutes: roundedMinutes }
}
// USAGE //
// Round time to 15 minutes
roundTime(7, 52, 15); // {hours: 7, minutes: 45}
roundTime(7, 53, 15); // {hours: 8, minutes: 0}
roundTime(1, 10, 15); // {hours: 1, minutes: 15}
With Existing Date Object
Or, if you are looking to round an already existing date object to the nearest x minutes, you can use this method.
If you don't give it any date it will round the current time. In your case, you can round to the nearest 15 minutes.
let getRoundedDate = (minutes, d=new Date()) => {
let ms = 1000 * 60 * minutes; // convert minutes to ms
let roundedDate = new Date(Math.round(d.getTime() / ms) * ms);
return roundedDate
}
// USAGE //
// Round existing date to 5 minutes
getRoundedDate(15, new Date()); // 2018-01-26T00:45:00.000Z
// Get current time rounded to 30 minutes
getRoundedDate(30); // 2018-01-26T00:30:00.000Z

The code here is a little verbose but I'm sure you'll see how you could combine the lines to make this shorter. I've left it this way to clearly show the steps:
var now = new Date();
var mins = now.getMinutes();
var quarterHours = Math.round(mins/15);
if (quarterHours == 4)
{
now.setHours(now.getHours()+1);
}
var rounded = (quarterHours*15)%60;
now.setMinutes(rounded);
document.write(now);

Divide by 9e5 milliseconds (15 * 60 * 1000), round, and multiply back by 9e5 :
const roundToQuarter = date => new Date(Math.round(date / 9e5) * 9e5)
console.log( roundToQuarter(new Date("1999-12-31T23:52:29.999Z")) ) // 1999-12-31T23:45:00
console.log( roundToQuarter(new Date("1999-12-31T23:52:30.000Z")) ) // 2000-01-01T00:00:00
console.log( roundToQuarter(new Date) )

I use these code:
function RoundUp(intervalMilliseconds, datetime){
datetime = datetime || new Date();
var modTicks = datetime.getTime() % intervalMilliseconds;
var delta = modTicks === 0 ? 0 : datetime.getTime() - modTicks;
delta += intervalMilliseconds;
return new Date(delta);
}
function RoundDown(intervalMilliseconds, datetime){
datetime = datetime || new Date();
var modTicks = datetime.getTime() % intervalMilliseconds;
var delta = modTicks === 0 ? 0 : datetime.getTime() - modTicks;
return new Date(delta);
}
function Round(intervalMilliseconds, datetime){
datetime = datetime || new Date();
var modTicks = datetime.getTime() % intervalMilliseconds;
var delta = modTicks === 0 ? 0 : datetime.getTime() - modTicks;
var shouldRoundUp = modTicks > intervalMilliseconds/2;
delta += shouldRoundUp ? intervalMilliseconds : 0;
return new Date(delta);
}
Round to the nearest 5 minutes:
//with current datetime
var result = Round(5 * 60 * 1000);
//with a given datetime
var dt = new Date();
var result = Round(5 * 60 * 1000, dt);

There is an NPM package #qc/date-round that can be used. Given that you have a Date instance to be rounded
import { round } from '#qc/date-round'
const dateIn = ...; // The date to be rounded
const interval = 15 * 60 * 1000; // 15 minutes (aka quarter hour)
const dateOut = round(dateIn, interval)
Then you can use date-fns to format the date
import format from 'date-fns/format';
console.log(format(dateOut, 'HH:mm')) // 24-hr
console.log(format(dateOut, 'hh:mm a')) // 12-hr

Another one with date-fns (not mandatory)
import {getMinutes, setMinutes, setSeconds, setMilliseconds} from 'date-fns'
let date = new Date();
let min = getMinutes(date);
let interval = 3 // in minutes
let new_min = min - min%interval + interval;
let new_date = setMilliseconds(setSeconds(setMinutes(date,new_min),0),0)
console.log('Orignal Date : ' + date);
console.log('Original Minute : ' + min);
console.log('New Minute : ' + new_min);
console.log('New Date : ' + new_date);

Pass the interval in milliseconds get the next cycle in roundUp order
Example if I want next 15 minute cycle from current time then call this method like *calculateNextCycle(15 * 60 * 1000);*
Samething for quarter hour pass the interval
function calculateNextCycle(interval) {
const timeStampCurrentOrOldDate = Date.now();
const timeStampStartOfDay = new Date().setHours(0, 0, 0, 0);
const timeDiff = timeStampCurrentOrOldDate - timeStampStartOfDay;
const mod = Math.ceil(timeDiff / interval);
return new Date(timeStampStartOfDay + (mod * interval));
}
console.log(calculateNextCycle(15 * 60 * 1000));

This method is specifically for Vue.js, it takes a time, and returns to the nearest entered increment, I based this on an above answer, but this is for Vue specifically using echma-6 standards. It will return T:06:00:00, if you fed 06:05 into it. This is used specifically with vuetify's v-calendar to choose a time in weeklyor daily format.
This answer also adds the 0 for like 06 hrs. Which is where this differs from the above answers. If you change the 30 to 15
methods: {
roundTimeAndFormat(datetime, roundTo) {
const hrsMins = datetime.split(':')
let min = ((((hrsMins[1] + 7.5) / roundTo) | 0) * roundTo) % 60
let hr = (((hrsMins[1] / 105 + 0.5) | 0) + hrsMins[0]) % 24
if (Number(hr) < 10) {
hr = ('0' + hr).slice(-2)
}
if (min === 0) {
min = ('0' + min).slice(-2)
}
return 'T' + hr + ':' + min + ':00'
}
}
You would just call:
this.roundTimeAndFormat(dateTime, 15)
And you would get the time to the nearest 15min interval.
If you enter, 11:01, you'd get T11:00:00

Might help others. For any language. Mainly trick with round function.
roundedMinutes = yourRoundFun(Minutes / interval) * interval
E.g. The interval could be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes.
Then rounded minutes can be reset to the respective date.
yourDateObj.setMinutes(0)
yourDateObj.setMinutes(roundedMinutes)
also if required then
yourDateObj.setSeconds(0)
yourDateObj.setMilliSeconds(0)
Simple?

Convert seconds to HH-MM-SS with JavaScript?

How can I convert seconds to an HH-MM-SS string using JavaScript?

You can manage to do this without any external JavaScript library with the help of JavaScript Date method like following:
const date = new Date(null);
date.setSeconds(SECONDS); // specify value for SECONDS here
const result = date.toISOString().slice(11, 19);
Or, as per #Frank's comment; a one liner:
new Date(SECONDS * 1000).toISOString().slice(11, 19);

Updated (2020):
Please use #Frank's one line solution:
new Date(SECONDS * 1000).toISOString().substring(11, 16)
If SECONDS<3600 and if you want to show only MM:SS then use below code:
new Date(SECONDS * 1000).toISOString().substring(14, 19)
It is by far the best solution.
Old answer:
Use the Moment.js library.

I don't think any built-in feature of the standard Date object will do this for you in a way that's more convenient than just doing the math yourself.
hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
totalSeconds %= 3600;
minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 60);
seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
Example:
let totalSeconds = 28565;
let hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
totalSeconds %= 3600;
let minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 60);
let seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
console.log("hours: " + hours);
console.log("minutes: " + minutes);
console.log("seconds: " + seconds);
// If you want strings with leading zeroes:
minutes = String(minutes).padStart(2, "0");
hours = String(hours).padStart(2, "0");
seconds = String(seconds).padStart(2, "0");
console.log(hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);

I know this is kinda old, but...
ES2015:
var toHHMMSS = (secs) => {
var sec_num = parseInt(secs, 10)
var hours = Math.floor(sec_num / 3600)
var minutes = Math.floor(sec_num / 60) % 60
var seconds = sec_num % 60
return [hours,minutes,seconds]
.map(v => v < 10 ? "0" + v : v)
.filter((v,i) => v !== "00" || i > 0)
.join(":")
}
It will output:
toHHMMSS(129600) // 36:00:00
toHHMMSS(13545) // 03:45:45
toHHMMSS(180) // 03:00
toHHMMSS(18) // 00:18

As Cleiton pointed out in his answer, moment.js can be used for this:
moment().startOf('day')
.seconds(15457)
.format('H:mm:ss');

Here's a simple function for converting times that might help
function formatSeconds(seconds) {
var date = new Date(1970,0,1);
date.setSeconds(seconds);
return date.toTimeString().replace(/.*(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}).*/, "$1");
}

This does the trick:
function secondstotime(secs)
{
var t = new Date(1970,0,1);
t.setSeconds(secs);
var s = t.toTimeString().substr(0,8);
if(secs > 86399)
s = Math.floor((t - Date.parse("1/1/70")) / 3600000) + s.substr(2);
return s;
}
(Sourced from here)

var timeInSec = "661"; //even it can be string
String.prototype.toHHMMSS = function () {
/* extend the String by using prototypical inheritance */
var seconds = parseInt(this, 10); // don't forget the second param
var hours = Math.floor(seconds / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((seconds - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
seconds = seconds - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
if (hours < 10) {hours = "0"+hours;}
if (minutes < 10) {minutes = "0"+minutes;}
if (seconds < 10) {seconds = "0"+seconds;}
var time = hours+':'+minutes+':'+seconds;
return time;
}
alert("5678".toHHMMSS()); // "01:34:38"
console.log(timeInSec.toHHMMSS()); //"00:11:01"
we can make this function lot shorter and crisp but that decreases the readability, so we will write it as simple as possible and as stable as possible.
or you can check this working here:

I think the most general (and cryptic) solution could be this
function hms(seconds) {
return [3600, 60]
.reduceRight(
(pipeline, breakpoint) => remainder =>
[Math.floor(remainder / breakpoint)].concat(pipeline(remainder % breakpoint)),
r => [r]
)(seconds)
.map(amount => amount.toString().padStart(2, '0'))
.join('-');
}
Or to copy & paste the shortest version
function hms(seconds) {
return [3600, 60]
.reduceRight(
(p, b) => r => [Math.floor(r / b)].concat(p(r % b)),
r => [r]
)(seconds)
.map(a => a.toString().padStart(2, '0'))
.join('-');
}
Some example outputs:
> hms(0)
< "00-00-00"
> hms(5)
< "00-00-05"
> hms(60)
< "00-01-00"
> hms(3785)
< "01-03-05"
> hms(37850)
< "10-30-50"
> hms(378500)
< "105-08-20"
How it works
Algorithm
To get hours you divide total seconds by 3600 and floor it.
To get minutes you divide remainder by 60 and floor it.
To get seconds you just use the remainder.
It would also be nice to keep individual amounts in an array for easier formatting.
For example given the input of 3785s the output should be [1, 3, 5], that is 1 hour, 3 minutes and 5 seconds.
Creating pipeline
Naming the 3600 and 60 constants "breakpoints" you can write this algorithm into function as this
function divideAndAppend(remainder, breakpoint, callback) {
return [Math.floor(remainder / breakpoint)].concat(callback(remainder % breakpoint));
}
It returns an array where first item is the amount for given breakpoint and the rest of the array is given by the callback.
Reusing the divideAndAppend in callback function will give you a pipeline of composed divideAndAppend functions. Each one of these
computes amount per given breakpoint and append it to the array making your desired output.
Then you also need the "final" callback that ends this pipeline. In another words you used all breakpoints and now you have only the remainder.
Since you have already the answer at 3) you should use some sort of identity function, in this case remainder => [remainder].
You can now write the pipeline like this
let pipeline = r3 => divideAndAppend(
r3,
3600,
r2 => divideAndAppend(
r2,
60,
r1 => [r1]));
> pipeline(3785)
< [1, 3, 5]
Cool right?
Generalizing using for-loop
Now you can generalize with a variable amount of breakpoints and create a for-loop that will compose individial divideAndAppend functions into
the pipeline.
You start with the identity function r1 => [r1], then use the 60 breakpoint and finally use the 3600 breakpoint.
let breakpoints = [60, 3600];
let pipeline = r => [r];
for (const b of breakpoints) {
const previousPipeline = pipeline;
pipeline = r => divideAndAppend(r, b, previousPipeline);
}
> pipeline(3785)
< [1, 3, 5]
Using Array.prototype.reduce()
Now you can rewrite this for-loop into reducer for shorter and more functional code. In other words rewrite function composition into the reducer.
let pipeline = [60, 3600].reduce(
(ppln, b) => r => divideAndAppend(r, b, ppln),
r => [r]
);
> pipeline(3785)
< [1, 3, 5]
The accumulator ppln is the pipeline and you are composing it using the previous version of it. The initial pipeline is r => [r].
You can now inline the function divideAndAppend and use Array.prototype.reduceRight which is the same as [].reverse().reduce(...) to make the breakpoints
definitions more natural.
let pipeline = [3600, 60]
.reduceRight(
(ppln, b) => r => [Math.floor(r / b)].concat(ppln(r % b)),
r => [r]
);
Which is the final form. Then you just appy mapping to string with padded 0's on left and join the strings with : separator;
More generalizations
Wrapping the reducer into function
function decompose(total, breakpoints) {
return breakpoints.reduceRight(
(p, b) => r => [Math.floor(r / b)].concat(p(r % b)),
r => [r]
)(total);
}
> decompose(3785, [3600, 60])
< [1, 3, 5]
you now have very general algorithm you can work with. For example:
Convert easily (the weird) us length standards
Given the standards
Unit
Divisions
1 foot
12 inches
1 yard
3 feet
1 mile
1760 yards
> decompose(123_456, [1760 * 3 * 12, 3 * 12, 12])
< [1, 1669, 1, 0]
123456 in = 1 mi, 1669 yd, 1 feet and 0 in
Or you can somewhat convert to decimal or binary representations
> decompose(123_456, [100_000, 10_000, 1000, 100, 10])
< [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
> decompose(127, [128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2])
< [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
Works also with floating point breakpoints
Since Javascript supports mod operator with floating point numbers, you can also do
> decompose(26.5, [20, 2.5])
< [1, 2, 1.5]
The edge case of no breakpoints is also naturally covered
> decompose(123, [])
< [123]

Try this:
function toTimeString(seconds) {
return (new Date(seconds * 1000)).toUTCString().match(/(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)/)[0];
}

Here is an extension to Number class. toHHMMSS() converts seconds to an hh:mm:ss string.
Number.prototype.toHHMMSS = function() {
var hours = Math.floor(this / 3600) < 10 ? ("00" + Math.floor(this / 3600)).slice(-2) : Math.floor(this / 3600);
var minutes = ("00" + Math.floor((this % 3600) / 60)).slice(-2);
var seconds = ("00" + (this % 3600) % 60).slice(-2);
return hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
}
// Usage: [number variable].toHHMMSS();
// Here is a simple test
var totalseconds = 1234;
document.getElementById("timespan").innerHTML = totalseconds.toHHMMSS();
// HTML of the test
<div id="timespan"></div>

Easy to follow version for noobies:
var totalNumberOfSeconds = YOURNUMBEROFSECONDS;
var hours = parseInt( totalNumberOfSeconds / 3600 );
var minutes = parseInt( (totalNumberOfSeconds - (hours * 3600)) / 60 );
var seconds = Math.floor((totalNumberOfSeconds - ((hours * 3600) + (minutes * 60))));
var result = (hours < 10 ? "0" + hours : hours) + ":" + (minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes) + ":" + (seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds);
console.log(result);

This function should do it :
var convertTime = function (input, separator) {
var pad = function(input) {return input < 10 ? "0" + input : input;};
return [
pad(Math.floor(input / 3600)),
pad(Math.floor(input % 3600 / 60)),
pad(Math.floor(input % 60)),
].join(typeof separator !== 'undefined' ? separator : ':' );
}
Without passing a separator, it uses : as the (default) separator :
time = convertTime(13551.9941351); // --> OUTPUT = 03:45:51
If you want to use - as a separator, just pass it as the second parameter:
time = convertTime(1126.5135155, '-'); // --> OUTPUT = 00-18-46
See also this Fiddle.

Chiming in on this old thread -- the OP stated HH:MM:SS, and many of the solutions work, until you realize you need more than 24 hours listed. And maybe you don't want more than a single line of code. Here you go:
d=(s)=>{f=Math.floor;g=(n)=>('00'+n).slice(-2);return f(s/3600)+':'+g(f(s/60)%60)+':'+g(s%60)}
It returns H+:MM:SS. To use it, simply use:
d(91260); // returns "25:21:00"
d(960); // returns "0:16:00"
...I tried to get it to use the least amount of code possible, for a nice one-liner approach.

For the special case of HH:MM:SS.MS (eq: "00:04:33.637") as used by FFMPEG to specify milliseconds.
[-][HH:]MM:SS[.m...]
HH expresses the number of hours, MM the number of minutes for a
maximum of 2 digits, and SS the number of seconds for a maximum of 2
digits. The m at the end expresses decimal value for SS.
/* HH:MM:SS.MS to (FLOAT)seconds ---------------*/
function timerToSec(timer){
let vtimer = timer.split(":")
let vhours = +vtimer[0]
let vminutes = +vtimer[1]
let vseconds = parseFloat(vtimer[2])
return vhours * 3600 + vminutes * 60 + vseconds
}
/* Seconds to (STRING)HH:MM:SS.MS --------------*/
function secToTimer(sec){
let o = new Date(0)
let p = new Date(sec*1000)
return new Date(p.getTime()-o.getTime())
.toISOString()
.split("T")[1]
.split("Z")[0]
}
/* Example: 7hours, 4 minutes, 33 seconds and 637 milliseconds */
const t = "07:04:33.637"
console.log(
t + " => " +
timerToSec(t) +

/* Test: 25473 seconds and 637 milliseconds */
const s = 25473.637 // "25473.637"
console.log(
s + "s => " +
secToTimer(s)
)

Outside the question, those functions written in php:
<?php
/* HH:MM:SS to (FLOAT)seconds ------------------*/
function timerToSec($timer){
$vtimer = explode(":",$timer);
$vhours = (int)$vtimer[0];
$vminutes = (int)$vtimer[1];
$vseconds = (float)$vtimer[2];
return $vhours * 3600 + $vminutes * 60 + $vseconds;
}
/* Seconds to (STRING)HH:MM:SS -----------------*/
function secToTimer($sec){
return explode(" ", date("H:i:s", $sec))[0];
}

After looking at all the answers and not being happy with most of them, this is what I came up with. I know I am very late to the conversation, but here it is anyway.
function secsToTime(secs){
var time = new Date();
// create Date object and set to today's date and time
time.setHours(parseInt(secs/3600) % 24);
time.setMinutes(parseInt(secs/60) % 60);
time.setSeconds(parseInt(secs%60));
time = time.toTimeString().split(" ")[0];
// time.toString() = "HH:mm:ss GMT-0800 (PST)"
// time.toString().split(" ") = ["HH:mm:ss", "GMT-0800", "(PST)"]
// time.toTimeString().split(" ")[0]; = "HH:mm:ss"
return time;
}
I create a new Date object, change the time to my parameters, convert the Date Object to a time string, and removed the additional stuff by splitting the string and returning only the part that need.
I thought I would share this approach, since it removes the need for regex, logic and math acrobatics to get the results in "HH:mm:ss" format, and instead it relies on built in methods.
You may want to take a look at the documentation here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

below is the given code which will convert seconds into hh-mm-ss format:
var measuredTime = new Date(null);
measuredTime.setSeconds(4995); // specify value of SECONDS
var MHSTime = measuredTime.toISOString().substr(11, 8);

I just wanted to give a little explanation to the nice answer above:
var totalSec = new Date().getTime() / 1000;
var hours = parseInt( totalSec / 3600 ) % 24;
var minutes = parseInt( totalSec / 60 ) % 60;
var seconds = totalSec % 60;
var result = (hours < 10 ? "0" + hours : hours) + "-" + (minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes) + "-" + (seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds);
On the second line, since there are 3600 seconds in 1 hour, we divide the total number of seconds by 3600 to get the total number of hours. We use parseInt to strip off any decimal. If totalSec was 12600 (3 and half hours), then parseInt( totalSec / 3600 ) would return 3, since we will have 3 full hours. Why do we need the % 24 in this case? If we exceed 24 hours, let's say we have 25 hours (90000 seconds), then the modulo here will take us back to 1 again, rather than returning 25. It is confining the result within a 24 hour limit, since there are 24 hours in one day.
When you see something like this:
25 % 24
Think of it like this:
25 mod 24 or what is the remainder when we divide 25 by 24

None of the answers here satisfies my requirements as I want to be able to handle
Large numbers of seconds (days), and
Negative numbers
Although those are not required by the OP, it's good practice to cover edge cases, especially when it takes little effort.
It's pretty obvious is that the OP means a NUMBER of seconds when he says seconds. Why would peg your function on String?
function secondsToTimeSpan(seconds) {
const value = Math.abs(seconds);
const days = Math.floor(value / 1440);
const hours = Math.floor((value - (days * 1440)) / 3600);
const min = Math.floor((value - (days * 1440) - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
const sec = value - (days * 1440) - (hours * 3600) - (min * 60);
return `${seconds < 0 ? '-':''}${days > 0 ? days + '.':''}${hours < 10 ? '0' + hours:hours}:${min < 10 ? '0' + min:min}:${sec < 10 ? '0' + sec:sec}`
}
secondsToTimeSpan(0); // => 00:00:00
secondsToTimeSpan(1); // => 00:00:01
secondsToTimeSpan(1440); // => 1.00:00:00
secondsToTimeSpan(-1440); // => -1.00:00:00
secondsToTimeSpan(-1); // => -00:00:01

Simple function to convert seconds into in hh:mm:ss format :
function getHHMMSSFromSeconds(totalSeconds) {
if (!totalSeconds) {
return '00:00:00';
}
const hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
const minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds % 3600 / 60);
const seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
const hhmmss = padTo2(hours) + ':' + padTo2(minutes) + ':' + padTo2(seconds);
return hhmmss;
}
// function to convert single digit to double digit
function padTo2(value) {
if (!value) {
return '00';
}
return value < 10 ? String(value).padStart(2, '0') : value;
}

Here is a function to convert seconds to hh-mm-ss format based on powtac's answer here
jsfiddle
/**
* Convert seconds to hh-mm-ss format.
* #param {number} totalSeconds - the total seconds to convert to hh- mm-ss
**/
var SecondsTohhmmss = function(totalSeconds) {
var hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((totalSeconds - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
var seconds = totalSeconds - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
// round seconds
seconds = Math.round(seconds * 100) / 100
var result = (hours < 10 ? "0" + hours : hours);
result += "-" + (minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes);
result += "-" + (seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds);
return result;
}
Example use
var seconds = SecondsTohhmmss(70);
console.log(seconds);
// logs 00-01-10

There are lots of options of solve this problem, and obvious there are good option suggested about, But I wants to add one more optimized code here
function formatSeconds(sec) {
return [(sec / 3600), ((sec % 3600) / 60), ((sec % 3600) % 60)]
.map(v => v < 10 ? "0" + parseInt(v) : parseInt(v))
.filter((i, j) => i !== "00" || j > 0)
.join(":");
}
if you don't wants formatted zero with less then 10 number, you can use
function formatSeconds(sec) {
return parseInt(sec / 3600) + ':' + parseInt((sec % 3600) / 60) + ':' + parseInt((sec % 3600) % 60);
}
Sample Code http://fiddly.org/1c476/1

In one line, using T.J. Crowder's solution :
secToHHMMSS = seconds => `${Math.floor(seconds / 3600)}:${Math.floor((seconds % 3600) / 60)}:${Math.floor((seconds % 3600) % 60)}`
In one line, another solution that also count days :
secToDHHMMSS = seconds => `${parseInt(seconds / 86400)}d ${new Date(seconds * 1000).toISOString().substr(11, 8)}`

var sec_to_hms = function(sec){
var min, hours;
sec = sec - (min = Math.floor(sec/60))*60;
min = min - (hours = Math.floor(min/60))*60;
return (hours?hours+':':'') + ((min+'').padStart(2, '0')) + ':'+ ((sec+'').padStart(2, '0'));
}
alert(sec_to_hms(2442542));

Have you tried adding seconds to a Date object?
Date.prototype.addSeconds = function(seconds) {
this.setSeconds(this.getSeconds() + seconds);
};
var dt = new Date();
dt.addSeconds(1234);
A sample:

Updated:
Sample link was missing so I created a new one.

You can also use below code:
int ss = nDur%60;
nDur = nDur/60;
int mm = nDur%60;
int hh = nDur/60;

For anyone using AngularJS, a simple solution is to filter the value with the date API, which converts milliseconds to a string based on the requested format. Example:
<div>Offer ends in {{ timeRemaining | date: 'HH:mm:ss' }}</div>
Note that this expects milliseconds, so you may want to multiply timeRemaining by 1000 if you are converting from seconds (as the original question was formulated).

I ran into the case some have mentioned where the number of seconds is more than a day. Here's an adapted version of #Harish Anchu's top-rated answer that accounts for longer periods of time:
function secondsToTime(seconds) {
const arr = new Date(seconds * 1000).toISOString().substr(11, 8).split(':');
const days = Math.floor(seconds / 86400);
arr[0] = parseInt(arr[0], 10) + days * 24;
return arr.join(':');
}
Example:
secondsToTime(101596) // outputs '28:13:16' as opposed to '04:13:16'

String.prototype.toHHMMSS = function () {
var sec_num = parseInt(this, 10); // don't forget the second param
var hours = Math.floor(sec_num / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((sec_num - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
var seconds = sec_num - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
if (hours < 10) {hours = "0"+hours;}
if (minutes < 10) {minutes = "0"+minutes;}
if (seconds < 10) {seconds = "0"+seconds;}
return hours+':'+minutes+':'+seconds;
}
Usage Example
alert("186".toHHMMSS());
