Answer 1

You can get the time from the scene and calculate it with the downTime from the activePointer. So, you can try this approach:

function update(time, delta){
    console.log(time - window.game.input.activePointer.downTime);
}

I came to the conclusion that this is the best approach when you want to get the duration on press down key because there is not duration attribute in activePointer anymore(Phaser3). So, this code works on Phaser 3 as well.

I hope it helps!

Answer 2

in phaser 3 something like

function update(){
 var duration = 0
 if( this.input.activePointer.isDown ){
  duration++;
 }
}
