Javascript function to convert decimal years value into years, months and days

Question

I need a function to transform decimal values of years in years, months and days. Ex: 1.5 years = 1 year, 6 month. 2.2527397260273973 years = 2 years, 3 months and 1 day.

Answer 1

I stated using jorgeregidor's answer and I generalized it a bit.

function years_to_ymdh(value) {
    console.log('initialy : '+ value + ' years');

    var results=[], rest=value;
    var units=['years', 'months', 'days', 'hours', 'minutes'];
    var converters=[1, 12, 365.25, 365.25*24, 365.25*24*60];

    units.forEach(function(d,i){
        if (i==0) results[i] = Math.floor(rest);
        else results[i] = Math.floor(rest * converters[i]);
        if (results[i] != 0) rest = rest % (results[i]/converters[i]);
        console.log('-'+results[i]+' '+d+' -> rest', rest);
    });

    var text = results.map( (d,i) => d+' '+units[i] ).join(', ');
    console.log(text);

    // return text;
    return results;
}

years_to_ymdh(2.2527397260273973)
-2 years -> rest 0.25273972602739736
-3 months -> rest 0.00273972602739736
-1 days -> rest 0.000001875240265258784
-0 hours -> rest 0.000001875240265258784
-0 minutes -> rest 0.000001875240265258784
2 years, 3 months, 1 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes

To get seconds it's pretty easy to add 'seconds' to the units array and 365.25*24*60*60 to the converters array.
