Convert seconds to HH-MM-SS with JavaScript?

Question

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

Answer 1

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).

Answer 2

function formatSeconds(seconds)
{
    var date = new Date(1970,0,1);
    date.setSeconds(seconds);
    return date.toTimeString().replace(/.*(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}).*/, "$1");
}

Answer 3

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);

Answer 4

new Date().toString().split(" ")[4];

result 15:08:03

Answer 5

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());

Answer 6

I've used this code before to create a simple timespan object:

function TimeSpan(time) {
this.hours = 0;
this.minutes = 0;
this.seconds = 0;

while(time >= 3600)
{
    this.hours++;
    time -= 3600;
}

while(time >= 60)
{
    this.minutes++;
    time -= 60;
}

this.seconds = time;
}

var timespan = new Timespan(3662);
