How to use format() on a moment.js duration?

Question

Is there any way I can use the moment.js format method on duration objects? I can\'t find it anywhere in the docs and it doesn\'t seen to be an attribute on du

Answer 1

If you're willing to use a different javascript library, numeral.js can format seconds as follows (example is for 1000 seconds):

var string = numeral(1000).format('00:00');
// '00:16:40'

Answer 2

Use this line of code:

moment.utc(moment.duration(4500, "seconds").asMilliseconds()).format("HH:mm:ss")

Answer 3

This works for me:

moment({minutes: 150}).format('HH:mm') // 01:30

Answer 4

This can be used to get the first two characters as hours and last two as minutes. Same logic may be applied to seconds.

/**
     * PT1H30M -> 0130
     * @param {ISO String} isoString
     * @return {string} absolute 4 digit number HH:mm
     */

    const parseIsoToAbsolute = (isoString) => {
    
      const durations = moment.duration(isoString).as('seconds');
      const momentInSeconds = moment.duration(durations, 'seconds');
    
      let hours = momentInSeconds.asHours().toString().length < 2
        ? momentInSeconds.asHours().toString().padStart(2, '0') : momentInSeconds.asHours().toString();
        
      if (!Number.isInteger(Number(hours))) hours = '0'+ Math.floor(hours);
    
      const minutes = momentInSeconds.minutes().toString().length < 2
        ? momentInSeconds.minutes().toString().padEnd(2, '0') : momentInSeconds.minutes().toString();
    
      const absolute = hours + minutes;
      return absolute;
    };
    
    console.log(parseIsoToAbsolute('PT1H30M'));

Use this plugin Moment Duration Format.

Example:

moment.duration(123, "minutes").format("h:mm");

How to correctly use moment.js durations? | Use moment.duration() in code

First you need to import moment and moment-duration-format.

import moment from 'moment';
import 'moment-duration-format';

Then, use duration function. Let us apply the above example: 28800 = 8 am.

moment.duration(28800, "seconds").format("h:mm a");
