Add multiple DateTime Duration strings together using JavaScript to get total duration

Question

I have an HTML Table used to generate a Calendar which shows TimeClock entries for each day a user has worked and clocked in and out of the system. Each day also shows the

Answer 1

With JQuery and Javascript its easily possible. Please have a look at below code.

$(document).ready(function(){
    var pad = function(num) { return ("0"+num).slice(-2); }
    var totalSeconds = 0;
    $("li").each(function(){
        var currentDuration = $(this).text();
        currentDuration = currentDuration.split(":");
        var hrs = parseInt(currentDuration[0],10);
        var min = parseInt(currentDuration[1],10);
        var sec = parseInt(currentDuration[2],10);
        var currDurationSec = sec + (60*min) + (60*60*hrs); 
        totalSeconds +=currDurationSec;
    });
    

    var hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
	totalSeconds %= 3600;
	var minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 60);
	var seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
  $(".totalVal").text(pad(hours)+":"+pad(minutes)+":"+pad(seconds));
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul>
    <li>03:31:23</li>
    <li>04:21:56</li>
    <li>04:08:42</li>
    <li>03:31:17</li>
    <li>04:10:59</li>
    <li>02:48:21</li>
    <li>04:26:11</li>
    <li>00:00:39</li>
    <li>03:41:37</li>
</ul>

<div id="totalTime">Total Time:<span class="totalVal"></span></div>

Answer 2

This is a little overkill, but shows how to use map and reduce.

/** Calculate the number of seconds from HH:MM:SS **/
function getSeconds(time) {
  var parts = time.split(":");
  return parseInt(parts[0], 10) * 3600 + parseInt(parts[1], 10) * 60 + parseInt(parts[2], 10);
}

//select all the elements
var totalSeconds = $("a.cal-punch-total-time")
    .map( function(ind, elem) { //convert the jQuery object into the array  
        var text = $(elem).text();  //get the text from the anchor
        return getSeconds(text);    //set the index to the total seconds
    })
    .get()  //gets the array out of the jQuery object
    .reduce( function(runningTotal, currentValue){  //Now to combine all the values into one
        return runningTotal + currentValue;  //sum up the values
    },0);  //The initial starting vaule

//Now get the hour, minutes, and seconds from the total seconds
var hours = parseInt( totalSeconds / 3600 );
var minutes = parseInt( totalSeconds / 60 ) % 60;
var seconds = totalSeconds % 60;

//left pad numbers less than ten
if(hours<10) hours = "0" + hours;
if(minutes<10) minutes = "0" + minutes;
if(seconds<10) seconds = "0" + seconds;


$("#out").html("Total Time: " + (hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds));

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<a class="cal-punch-total-time">03:31:23</a>
<a class="cal-punch-total-time">04:21:56</a>
<a class="cal-punch-total-time">04:08:42</a>
<a class="cal-punch-total-time">03:31:17</a>
<a class="cal-punch-total-time">04:10:59</a>
<a class="cal-punch-total-time">02:48:21</a>
<a class="cal-punch-total-time">04:26:11</a>
<a class="cal-punch-total-time">00:00:39</a>
<a class="cal-punch-total-time">03:41:37</a>
<div id="out"></div>

Answer 3

Try this:

function hhmmssToSeconds(str)  {
    var arr = str.split(':').map(Number);
    return (arr[0] * 3600) + (arr[1] * 60) + arr[2];
};

function secondsToHHMMSS(seconds) {
    var hours = parseInt(seconds / 3600, 10),
        minutes = parseInt((seconds / 60) % 60, 10),
        seconds = parseInt(seconds % 3600 % 60, 10);

    return [hours, minutes, seconds].map(function (i) { return i.toString().length === 2 ? i : '0' + i; }).join(':');
}

Then:

var t1 = hhmmssToSeconds('40:50:40'),
    t2 = hhmmssToSeconds('04:12:30');

var result = secondsToHHMMSS(t1 + t2); // '45:03:10'

You can split your DateTime strings into arrays.

totalTimeValue = $(this).text().split(':'); //from '03:10:30' to ['03','10','30']

Then loop through your array and coerce each string to a number.

totalTimeValue.forEach(function(val,idx){
    totalWeekTimeValue[idx] += Number(val);
  });

This will leave you with an array of values for totalWeekTime that you can format/recalculate and rejoin if needed.

totalWeekTimeValue.join(':'); //[3:10:30]
