returning a negative countdown using moment.js - javascript

I created a countdown, but it's returning a negative output instead of a positive one. I have researched reasons why this happens, but no luck. does anyone know why a countdown can return negative? and where in my code did I turned it negative?
thanks in advance!
var now = moment();
var targetDay = now.format("2020-11-03", "dddd, MMMM Do YYYY");
var countDown= Math.floor(moment().diff(targetDay, 'seconds'));
var Days, Minutes,Hours,Seconds;
setInterval(function(){
// Updating Days
Days =pad(Math.floor(countDown / 86400),2);
//updating Hours
Hours = pad(Math.floor((countDown - (Days * 86400)) / 3600),2);
// Updating Minutes
Minutes =pad(Math.floor((countDown - (Days * 86400) - (Hours * 3600)) / 60),2);
// Updating Seconds
Seconds = pad(Math.floor((countDown - (Days * 86400) - (Hours* 3600) - (Minutes * 60))), 2);
// Updation our HTML view
document.getElementById("days").innerHTML=Days + ' Days';
document.getElementById("hours").innerHTML=Hours + ' Hours';
document.getElementById("minutes").innerHTML=Minutes+ ' Minutes';
document.getElementById("seconds").innerHTML=Seconds + ' Seconds';
// Decrement
countDown--;
if(countDown === 0){
countDown= Math.floor(moment().diff(targetDay, 'seconds'));
}
},1000);
// Function for padding the seconds i.e limit it only to 2 digits
function pad(num, size) {
var s = num + "";
while (s.length < size) s = "0" + s;
return s;
}

Quote from momentjs docs:
By default, moment#diff will return a number rounded towards zero
(down for positive, up for negative)
If the moment is earlier than the moment you are passing to
moment.fn.diff, the return value will be negative.
So, to fix this issue you should use the following code
var now = moment();
var targetDay = moment('2020-11-23', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
var countDown= Math.floor(targetDay.diff(now, 'seconds'));
Value will be positive because targetDay moment is later that the moment you're passing to moment.diff

Turning an input (amount of seconds) into an HH:MM:SS format for from API [duplicate]

How can I convert seconds to an HH-MM-SS string using JavaScript?
You can manage to do this without any external JavaScript library with the help of JavaScript Date method like following:
const date = new Date(null);
date.setSeconds(SECONDS); // specify value for SECONDS here
const result = date.toISOString().slice(11, 19);
Or, as per #Frank's comment; a one liner:
new Date(SECONDS * 1000).toISOString().slice(11, 19);
Updated (2020):
Please use #Frank's one line solution:
new Date(SECONDS * 1000).toISOString().substring(11, 16)
If SECONDS<3600 and if you want to show only MM:SS then use below code:
new Date(SECONDS * 1000).toISOString().substring(14, 19)
It is by far the best solution.
Old answer:
Use the Moment.js library.
I don't think any built-in feature of the standard Date object will do this for you in a way that's more convenient than just doing the math yourself.
hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
totalSeconds %= 3600;
minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 60);
seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
Example:
let totalSeconds = 28565;
let hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
totalSeconds %= 3600;
let minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 60);
let seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
console.log("hours: " + hours);
console.log("minutes: " + minutes);
console.log("seconds: " + seconds);
// If you want strings with leading zeroes:
minutes = String(minutes).padStart(2, "0");
hours = String(hours).padStart(2, "0");
seconds = String(seconds).padStart(2, "0");
console.log(hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds);
I know this is kinda old, but...
ES2015:
var toHHMMSS = (secs) => {
var sec_num = parseInt(secs, 10)
var hours = Math.floor(sec_num / 3600)
var minutes = Math.floor(sec_num / 60) % 60
var seconds = sec_num % 60
return [hours,minutes,seconds]
.map(v => v < 10 ? "0" + v : v)
.filter((v,i) => v !== "00" || i > 0)
.join(":")
}
It will output:
toHHMMSS(129600) // 36:00:00
toHHMMSS(13545) // 03:45:45
toHHMMSS(180) // 03:00
toHHMMSS(18) // 00:18
As Cleiton pointed out in his answer, moment.js can be used for this:
moment().startOf('day')
.seconds(15457)
.format('H:mm:ss');
Here's a simple function for converting times that might help
function formatSeconds(seconds) {
var date = new Date(1970,0,1);
date.setSeconds(seconds);
return date.toTimeString().replace(/.*(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}).*/, "$1");
}
This does the trick:
function secondstotime(secs)
{
var t = new Date(1970,0,1);
t.setSeconds(secs);
var s = t.toTimeString().substr(0,8);
if(secs > 86399)
s = Math.floor((t - Date.parse("1/1/70")) / 3600000) + s.substr(2);
return s;
}
(Sourced from here)
var timeInSec = "661"; //even it can be string
String.prototype.toHHMMSS = function () {
/* extend the String by using prototypical inheritance */
var seconds = parseInt(this, 10); // don't forget the second param
var hours = Math.floor(seconds / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((seconds - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
seconds = seconds - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
if (hours < 10) {hours = "0"+hours;}
if (minutes < 10) {minutes = "0"+minutes;}
if (seconds < 10) {seconds = "0"+seconds;}
var time = hours+':'+minutes+':'+seconds;
return time;
}
alert("5678".toHHMMSS()); // "01:34:38"
console.log(timeInSec.toHHMMSS()); //"00:11:01"
we can make this function lot shorter and crisp but that decreases the readability, so we will write it as simple as possible and as stable as possible.
or you can check this working here:
Try this:
function toTimeString(seconds) {
return (new Date(seconds * 1000)).toUTCString().match(/(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)/)[0];
}
I think the most general (and cryptic) solution could be this
function hms(seconds) {
return [3600, 60]
.reduceRight(
(pipeline, breakpoint) => remainder =>
[Math.floor(remainder / breakpoint)].concat(pipeline(remainder % breakpoint)),
r => [r]
)(seconds)
.map(amount => amount.toString().padStart(2, '0'))
.join('-');
}
Or to copy & paste the shortest version
function hms(seconds) {
return [3600, 60]
.reduceRight(
(p, b) => r => [Math.floor(r / b)].concat(p(r % b)),
r => [r]
)(seconds)
.map(a => a.toString().padStart(2, '0'))
.join('-');
}
Some example outputs:
> hms(0)
< "00-00-00"
> hms(5)
< "00-00-05"
> hms(60)
< "00-01-00"
> hms(3785)
< "01-03-05"
> hms(37850)
< "10-30-50"
> hms(378500)
< "105-08-20"
How it works
Algorithm
To get hours you divide total seconds by 3600 and floor it.
To get minutes you divide remainder by 60 and floor it.
To get seconds you just use the remainder.
It would also be nice to keep individual amounts in an array for easier formatting.
For example given the input of 3785s the output should be [1, 3, 5], that is 1 hour, 3 minutes and 5 seconds.
Creating pipeline
Naming the 3600 and 60 constants "breakpoints" you can write this algorithm into function as this
function divideAndAppend(remainder, breakpoint, callback) {
return [Math.floor(remainder / breakpoint)].concat(callback(remainder % breakpoint));
}
It returns an array where first item is the amount for given breakpoint and the rest of the array is given by the callback.
Reusing the divideAndAppend in callback function will give you a pipeline of composed divideAndAppend functions. Each one of these
computes amount per given breakpoint and append it to the array making your desired output.
Then you also need the "final" callback that ends this pipeline. In another words you used all breakpoints and now you have only the remainder.
Since you have already the answer at 3) you should use some sort of identity function, in this case remainder => [remainder].
You can now write the pipeline like this
let pipeline = r3 => divideAndAppend(
r3,
3600,
r2 => divideAndAppend(
r2,
60,
r1 => [r1]));
> pipeline(3785)
< [1, 3, 5]
Cool right?
Generalizing using for-loop
Now you can generalize with a variable amount of breakpoints and create a for-loop that will compose individial divideAndAppend functions into
the pipeline.
You start with the identity function r1 => [r1], then use the 60 breakpoint and finally use the 3600 breakpoint.
let breakpoints = [60, 3600];
let pipeline = r => [r];
for (const b of breakpoints) {
const previousPipeline = pipeline;
pipeline = r => divideAndAppend(r, b, previousPipeline);
}
> pipeline(3785)
< [1, 3, 5]
Using Array.prototype.reduce()
Now you can rewrite this for-loop into reducer for shorter and more functional code. In other words rewrite function composition into the reducer.
let pipeline = [60, 3600].reduce(
(ppln, b) => r => divideAndAppend(r, b, ppln),
r => [r]
);
> pipeline(3785)
< [1, 3, 5]
The accumulator ppln is the pipeline and you are composing it using the previous version of it. The initial pipeline is r => [r].
You can now inline the function divideAndAppend and use Array.prototype.reduceRight which is the same as [].reverse().reduce(...) to make the breakpoints
definitions more natural.
let pipeline = [3600, 60]
.reduceRight(
(ppln, b) => r => [Math.floor(r / b)].concat(ppln(r % b)),
r => [r]
);
Which is the final form. Then you just appy mapping to string with padded 0's on left and join the strings with : separator;
More generalizations
Wrapping the reducer into function
function decompose(total, breakpoints) {
return breakpoints.reduceRight(
(p, b) => r => [Math.floor(r / b)].concat(p(r % b)),
r => [r]
)(total);
}
> decompose(3785, [3600, 60])
< [1, 3, 5]
you now have very general algorithm you can work with. For example:
Convert easily (the weird) us length standards
Given the standards
Unit
Divisions
1 foot
12 inches
1 yard
3 feet
1 mile
1760 yards
> decompose(123_456, [1760 * 3 * 12, 3 * 12, 12])
< [1, 1669, 1, 0]
123456 in = 1 mi, 1669 yd, 1 feet and 0 in
Or you can somewhat convert to decimal or binary representations
> decompose(123_456, [100_000, 10_000, 1000, 100, 10])
< [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
> decompose(127, [128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2])
< [0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
Works also with floating point breakpoints
Since Javascript supports mod operator with floating point numbers, you can also do
> decompose(26.5, [20, 2.5])
< [1, 2, 1.5]
The edge case of no breakpoints is also naturally covered
> decompose(123, [])
< [123]
Here is an extension to Number class. toHHMMSS() converts seconds to an hh:mm:ss string.
Number.prototype.toHHMMSS = function() {
var hours = Math.floor(this / 3600) < 10 ? ("00" + Math.floor(this / 3600)).slice(-2) : Math.floor(this / 3600);
var minutes = ("00" + Math.floor((this % 3600) / 60)).slice(-2);
var seconds = ("00" + (this % 3600) % 60).slice(-2);
return hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
}
// Usage: [number variable].toHHMMSS();
// Here is a simple test
var totalseconds = 1234;
document.getElementById("timespan").innerHTML = totalseconds.toHHMMSS();
// HTML of the test
<div id="timespan"></div>
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);
This function should do it :
var convertTime = function (input, separator) {
var pad = function(input) {return input < 10 ? "0" + input : input;};
return [
pad(Math.floor(input / 3600)),
pad(Math.floor(input % 3600 / 60)),
pad(Math.floor(input % 60)),
].join(typeof separator !== 'undefined' ? separator : ':' );
}
Without passing a separator, it uses : as the (default) separator :
time = convertTime(13551.9941351); // --> OUTPUT = 03:45:51
If you want to use - as a separator, just pass it as the second parameter:
time = convertTime(1126.5135155, '-'); // --> OUTPUT = 00-18-46
See also this Fiddle.
Chiming in on this old thread -- the OP stated HH:MM:SS, and many of the solutions work, until you realize you need more than 24 hours listed. And maybe you don't want more than a single line of code. Here you go:
d=(s)=>{f=Math.floor;g=(n)=>('00'+n).slice(-2);return f(s/3600)+':'+g(f(s/60)%60)+':'+g(s%60)}
It returns H+:MM:SS. To use it, simply use:
d(91260); // returns "25:21:00"
d(960); // returns "0:16:00"
...I tried to get it to use the least amount of code possible, for a nice one-liner approach.
For the special case of HH:MM:SS.MS (eq: "00:04:33.637") as used by FFMPEG to specify milliseconds.
[-][HH:]MM:SS[.m...]
HH expresses the number of hours, MM the number of minutes for a
maximum of 2 digits, and SS the number of seconds for a maximum of 2
digits. The m at the end expresses decimal value for SS.
/* HH:MM:SS.MS to (FLOAT)seconds ---------------*/
function timerToSec(timer){
let vtimer = timer.split(":")
let vhours = +vtimer[0]
let vminutes = +vtimer[1]
let vseconds = parseFloat(vtimer[2])
return vhours * 3600 + vminutes * 60 + vseconds
}
/* Seconds to (STRING)HH:MM:SS.MS --------------*/
function secToTimer(sec){
let o = new Date(0)
let p = new Date(sec*1000)
return new Date(p.getTime()-o.getTime())
.toISOString()
.split("T")[1]
.split("Z")[0]
}
/* Example: 7hours, 4 minutes, 33 seconds and 637 milliseconds */
const t = "07:04:33.637"
console.log(
t + " => " +
timerToSec(t) +

/* Test: 25473 seconds and 637 milliseconds */
const s = 25473.637 // "25473.637"

secToTimer(s)
)
Example usage, a milliseconds transport timer:

Outside the question, those functions written in php:
<?php
/* HH:MM:SS to (FLOAT)seconds ------------------*/
function timerToSec($timer){
$vtimer = explode(":",$timer);
$vhours = (int)$vtimer[0];
$vminutes = (int)$vtimer[1];
$vseconds = (float)$vtimer[2];
return $vhours * 3600 + $vminutes * 60 + $vseconds;
}
/* Seconds to (STRING)HH:MM:SS -----------------*/
function secToTimer($sec){
return explode(" ", date("H:i:s", $sec))[0];
}
After looking at all the answers and not being happy with most of them, this is what I came up with. I know I am very late to the conversation, but here it is anyway.
function secsToTime(secs){
var time = new Date();
// create Date object and set to today's date and time
time.setHours(parseInt(secs/3600) % 24);
time.setMinutes(parseInt(secs/60) % 60);
time.setSeconds(parseInt(secs%60));
time = time.toTimeString().split(" ")[0];
// time.toString() = "HH:mm:ss GMT-0800 (PST)"
// time.toString().split(" ") = ["HH:mm:ss", "GMT-0800", "(PST)"]
// time.toTimeString().split(" ")[0]; = "HH:mm:ss"
return time;
}
I create a new Date object, change the time to my parameters, convert the Date Object to a time string, and removed the additional stuff by splitting the string and returning only the part that need.
I thought I would share this approach, since it removes the need for regex, logic and math acrobatics to get the results in "HH:mm:ss" format, and instead it relies on built in methods.
You may want to take a look at the documentation here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
below is the given code which will convert seconds into hh-mm-ss format:
var measuredTime = new Date(null);
measuredTime.setSeconds(4995); // specify value of SECONDS
var MHSTime = measuredTime.toISOString().substr(11, 8);

I just wanted to give a little explanation to the nice answer above:
var totalSec = new Date().getTime() / 1000;
var hours = parseInt( totalSec / 3600 ) % 24;
var minutes = parseInt( totalSec / 60 ) % 60;
var seconds = totalSec % 60;
var result = (hours < 10 ? "0" + hours : hours) + "-" + (minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes) + "-" + (seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds);
On the second line, since there are 3600 seconds in 1 hour, we divide the total number of seconds by 3600 to get the total number of hours. We use parseInt to strip off any decimal. If totalSec was 12600 (3 and half hours), then parseInt( totalSec / 3600 ) would return 3, since we will have 3 full hours. Why do we need the % 24 in this case? If we exceed 24 hours, let's say we have 25 hours (90000 seconds), then the modulo here will take us back to 1 again, rather than returning 25. It is confining the result within a 24 hour limit, since there are 24 hours in one day.
When you see something like this:
25 % 24
Think of it like this:
25 mod 24 or what is the remainder when we divide 25 by 24
None of the answers here satisfies my requirements as I want to be able to handle
Large numbers of seconds (days), and
Negative numbers
Although those are not required by the OP, it's good practice to cover edge cases, especially when it takes little effort.
It's pretty obvious is that the OP means a NUMBER of seconds when he says seconds. Why would peg your function on String?
function secondsToTimeSpan(seconds) {
const value = Math.abs(seconds);
const days = Math.floor(value / 1440);
const hours = Math.floor((value - (days * 1440)) / 3600);
const min = Math.floor((value - (days * 1440) - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
const sec = value - (days * 1440) - (hours * 3600) - (min * 60);
return `${seconds < 0 ? '-':''}${days > 0 ? days + '.':''}${hours < 10 ? '0' + hours:hours}:${min < 10 ? '0' + min:min}:${sec < 10 ? '0' + sec:sec}`
}
secondsToTimeSpan(0); // => 00:00:00
secondsToTimeSpan(1); // => 00:00:01
secondsToTimeSpan(1440); // => 1.00:00:00
secondsToTimeSpan(-1440); // => -1.00:00:00
secondsToTimeSpan(-1); // => -00:00:01
Simple function to convert seconds into in hh:mm:ss format :
function getHHMMSSFromSeconds(totalSeconds) {
if (!totalSeconds) {
return '00:00:00';
}
const hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
const minutes = Math.floor(totalSeconds % 3600 / 60);
const seconds = totalSeconds % 60;
const hhmmss = padTo2(hours) + ':' + padTo2(minutes) + ':' + padTo2(seconds);
return hhmmss;
}
// function to convert single digit to double digit
function padTo2(value) {
if (!value) {
return '00';
}
return value < 10 ? String(value).padStart(2, '0') : value;
}
Here is a function to convert seconds to hh-mm-ss format based on powtac's answer here
jsfiddle
/**
* Convert seconds to hh-mm-ss format.
* #param {number} totalSeconds - the total seconds to convert to hh- mm-ss
**/
var SecondsTohhmmss = function(totalSeconds) {
var hours = Math.floor(totalSeconds / 3600);
var minutes = Math.floor((totalSeconds - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
var seconds = totalSeconds - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
// round seconds
seconds = Math.round(seconds * 100) / 100
var result = (hours < 10 ? "0" + hours : hours);
result += "-" + (minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes);
result += "-" + (seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds);
return result;
}
Example use
var seconds = SecondsTohhmmss(70);
console.log(seconds);
// logs 00-01-10
There are lots of options of solve this problem, and obvious there are good option suggested about, But I wants to add one more optimized code here
function formatSeconds(sec) {
return [(sec / 3600), ((sec % 3600) / 60), ((sec % 3600) % 60)]
.map(v => v < 10 ? "0" + parseInt(v) : parseInt(v))
.filter((i, j) => i !== "00" || j > 0)

if you don't wants formatted zero with less then 10 number, you can use
function formatSeconds(sec) {
return parseInt(sec / 3600) + ':' + parseInt((sec % 3600) / 60) + ':' + parseInt((sec % 3600) % 60);
}
Sample Code http://fiddly.org/1c476/1
In one line, using T.J. Crowder's solution :
secToHHMMSS = seconds => `${Math.floor(seconds / 3600)}:${Math.floor((seconds % 3600) / 60)}:${Math.floor((seconds % 3600) % 60)}`
In one line, another solution that also count days :
secToDHHMMSS = seconds => `${parseInt(seconds / 86400)}d ${new Date(seconds * 1000).toISOString().substr(11, 8)}`
Source : https://gist.github.com/martinbean/2bf88c446be8048814cf02b2641ba276
var sec_to_hms = function(sec){
var min, hours;
sec = sec - (min = Math.floor(sec/60))*60;
min = min - (hours = Math.floor(min/60))*60;
return (hours?hours+':':'') + ((min+'').padStart(2, '0')) + ':'+ ((sec+'').padStart(2, '0'));
}
alert(sec_to_hms(2442542));
Have you tried adding seconds to a Date object?
Date.prototype.addSeconds = function(seconds) {
this.setSeconds(this.getSeconds() + seconds);
};
var dt = new Date();
dt.addSeconds(1234);
A sample:
https://jsfiddle.net/j5g2p0dc/5/
Updated:
Sample link was missing so I created a new one.
You can also use below code:
int ss = nDur%60;
nDur = nDur/60;
int mm = nDur%60;
int hh = nDur/60;
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).
I ran into the case some have mentioned where the number of seconds is more than a day. Here's an adapted version of #Harish Anchu's top-rated answer that accounts for longer periods of time:
function secondsToTime(seconds) {
const arr = new Date(seconds * 1000).toISOString().substr(11, 8).split(':');
const days = Math.floor(seconds / 86400);
arr[0] = parseInt(arr[0], 10) + days * 24;
return arr.join(':');
}
Example:
secondsToTime(101596) // outputs '28:13:16' as opposed to '04:13:16'
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());

Time Deference between UTC and Local time

I am trying to find out the Call duration between the Last call end time with current time.
I am getting Last update time from MySQl bin as "2020-03-03T05:04:40.000Z" and now i want to find duration with current time from React application but now i am trying this one in JS Fiddle . When i tried the below script always getting 10 to 15 minutes more the actual result. Could any one help me out to find the exact solution please.
<script>
var startTime, endTime,timeDiff;
startTime = new Date("2020-03-03T05:04:40.000Z");
endTime = new Date();
timeDiff = (endTime - startTime)/1000 ; //in ms
let seconds = Math.round(timeDiff);
document.write(sec2time(seconds))
function sec2time(timeInSeconds) {
var pad = function(num, size) { return ('000' + num).slice(size * -1); },
time = parseFloat(timeInSeconds).toFixed(3),
hours = Math.floor(time / 60 / 60),
minutes = Math.floor(time / 60) % 60,
seconds = Math.floor(time - minutes * 60),
milliseconds = time.slice(-3);
return pad(hours, 2) + ':' + pad(minutes, 2) + ':' + pad(seconds, 2);
}
</script>
getTimezoneOffset() will do:
new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60
this returns the number of hours behind or ahead of UTC. (positive meaning behind).

How to add a zero if the number of seconds is less than 10? After converting integer to minutes and seconds [duplicate]

This is a common problem but I'm not sure how to solve it. The code below works fine.
var mind = time % (60 * 60);
var minutes = Math.floor(mind / 60);
var secd = mind % 60;
var seconds = Math.ceil(secd);
However, when I get to 1 hour or 3600 seconds it returns 0 minutes and 0 seconds. How can I avoid this so it returns all the minutes?
To get the number of full minutes, divide the number of total seconds by 60 (60 seconds/minute):
const minutes = Math.floor(time / 60);
And to get the remaining seconds, multiply the full minutes with 60 and subtract from the total seconds:
const seconds = time - minutes * 60;
Now if you also want to get the full hours too, divide the number of total seconds by 3600 (60 minutes/hour · 60 seconds/minute) first, then calculate the remaining seconds:
const hours = Math.floor(time / 3600);
time = time - hours * 3600;
Then you calculate the full minutes and remaining seconds.
Bonus:
Use the following code to pretty-print the time (suggested by Dru):
function str_pad_left(string, pad, length) {
return (new Array(length + 1).join(pad) + string).slice(-length);
}
const finalTime = str_pad_left(minutes, '0', 2) + ':' + str_pad_left(seconds, '0', 2);
Another fancy solution:
function fancyTimeFormat(duration) {
// Hours, minutes and seconds
const hrs = ~~(duration / 3600);
const mins = ~~((duration % 3600) / 60);
const secs = ~~duration % 60;
// Output like "1:01" or "4:03:59" or "123:03:59"
let ret = "";
if (hrs > 0) {
ret += "" + hrs + ":" + (mins < 10 ? "0" : "");
}
ret += "" + mins + ":" + (secs < 10 ? "0" : "");
ret += "" + secs;
return ret;
}
console.log(
fancyTimeFormat(1),
fancyTimeFormat(10),
fancyTimeFormat(100),
fancyTimeFormat(1000),
fancyTimeFormat(10000),
);

For people dropping in hoping for a quick simple and thus short solution to format seconds into M:SS :
function fmtMSS(s){return(s-(s%=60))/60+(9<s?':':':0')+s}
done..
The function accepts either a Number (preferred) or a String (2 conversion 'penalties' which you can halve by prepending + in the function call's argument for s as in: fmtMSS(+strSeconds)), representing positive integer seconds s as argument.
Examples:
fmtMSS( 0 ); // 0:00
fmtMSS( '8'); // 0:08
fmtMSS( 9 ); // 0:09
fmtMSS( '10'); // 0:10
fmtMSS( 59 ); // 0:59
fmtMSS( +'60'); // 1:00
fmtMSS( 69 ); // 1:09
fmtMSS( 3599 ); // 59:59
fmtMSS('3600'); // 60:00
fmtMSS('3661'); // 61:01
fmtMSS( 7425 ); // 123:45
Breakdown:
function fmtMSS(s){ // accepts seconds as Number or String. Returns m:ss
return( s - // take value s and subtract (will try to convert String to Number)
( s %= 60 ) // the new value of s, now holding the remainder of s divided by 60
// (will also try to convert String to Number)
) / 60 + ( // and divide the resulting Number by 60
// (can never result in a fractional value = no need for rounding)
// to which we concatenate a String (converts the Number to String)
// who's reference is chosen by the conditional operator:
9 < s // if seconds is larger than 9
? ':' // then we don't need to prepend a zero
: ':0' // else we do need to prepend a zero
) + s ; // and we add Number s to the string (converting it to String as well)
}
Note: Negative range could be added by prepending (0>s?(s=-s,'-'):'')+ to the return expression (actually, (0>s?(s=-s,'-'):0)+ would work as well).
2020 UPDATE
Using basic math and simple javascript this can be done in just a few lines of code.
EXAMPLE - Convert 7735 seconds to HH:MM:SS.
MATH:
Calculations use:
Math.floor() - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/floor
The Math.floor() function returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number.
% arithmetic operator (Remainder) - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Arithmetic_Operators#Remainder
The remainder operator returns the remainder left over when one operand is divided by a second operand. It always takes the sign of the dividend.
Check out code below. Seconds are divided by 3600 to get number of hours and a remainder, which is used to calculate number of minutes and seconds.
HOURS => 7735 / 3600 = 2 remainder 535
MINUTES => 535 / 60 = 8 remainder 55
SECONDS => 55
LEADING ZEROS:
Many answers here use complicated methods to show number of hours, minutes and seconds in a proper way with leading zero - 45, 04 etc. This can be done using padStart(). This works for strings so the number must be converted to string using toString().
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padStart
The padStart() method pads the current string with another string (multiple times, if needed) until the resulting string reaches the given length. The padding is applied from the start of the current string.
CODE:
function secondsToTime(e){
const h = Math.floor(e / 3600).toString().padStart(2,'0'),
m = Math.floor(e % 3600 / 60).toString().padStart(2,'0'),
s = Math.floor(e % 60).toString().padStart(2,'0');
return h + ':' + m + ':' + s;
//return `${h}:${m}:${s}`;
}
console.log(secondsToTime(7735)); // 02:08:55
/*
secondsToTime(SECONDS) // HH:MM:SS
secondsToTime(8) // 00:00:08
secondsToTime(68) // 00:01:08
secondsToTime(1768) // 00:29:28
secondsToTime(3600) // 01:00:00
secondsToTime(5296) // 01:28:16
secondsToTime(7735) // 02:08:55
secondsToTime(45296) // 12:34:56
secondsToTime(145296) // 40:21:36
secondsToTime(1145296) // 318:08:16
*/
2019 best variant
Format hh:mm:ss
console.log(display(60 * 60 * 2.5 + 25)) // 2.5 hours + 25 seconds
function display (seconds) {
const format = val => `0${Math.floor(val)}`.slice(-2)
const hours = seconds / 3600
const minutes = (seconds % 3600) / 60
return [hours, minutes, seconds % 60].map(format).join(':')
}
You can also use native Date object:
var date = new Date(null);
date.setSeconds(timeInSeconds);
// retrieve time ignoring the browser timezone - returns hh:mm:ss
var utc = date.toUTCString();
// negative start index in substr does not work in IE 8 and earlier
var time = utc.substr(utc.indexOf(':') - 2, 8)
// retrieve each value individually - returns h:m:s
var time = date.getUTCHours() + ':' + date.getUTCMinutes() + ':' + date.getUTCSeconds();
// does not work in IE8 and below - returns hh:mm:ss
var time = date.toISOString().substr(11, 8);
// not recommended - only if seconds number includes timezone difference
var time = date.toTimeString().substr(0, 8);
Of course this solution works only for timeInSeconds less than 24 hours ;)
function secondsToMinutes(time){
return Math.floor(time / 60)+':'+Math.floor(time % 60);
}
To add leading zeros, I would just do:
const secondsToMinSecPadded = time => {
const minutes = "0" + Math.floor(time / 60);
const seconds = "0" + (time - minutes * 60);
return minutes.substr(-2) + ":" + seconds.substr(-2);
};
console.log(secondsToMinSecPadded(241));
Nice and short
Moment.js
If you are using Moment.js then you can use there built in Duration object
const duration = moment.duration(4825, 'seconds');
const h = duration.hours(); // 1
const m = duration.minutes(); // 20
const s = duration.seconds(); // 25
Clean one liner using ES6
const secondsToMinutes = seconds => Math.floor(seconds / 60) + ':' + ('0' + Math.floor(seconds % 60)).slice(-2);
The most concise method I found can be done using in just one line:
let timeString = `${timeInSeconds/60|0}:${timeInSeconds%60}`
Explanation
`${...}`Template literals. Allows for expressions to be converted into a string from within the string itself.Note: Incompatible with IE.
timeInSeconds/60|0Takes the seconds and converts in into minutes (/60). This gives a rational number. From here it is truncated using the bitwise OR (|0)
timeInSeconds%60Remainder (modulo). Gives the remainder of the variable divided by 60.
Hours
This method can be expanded to include hours like this:
let timeString = `${timeInSeconds/60/60|0}:${timeInSeconds/60%60|0}:${timeInSeconds%60}`
Repeating this process, you can even include days.
A one liner (doesnt work with hours):
function sectostr(time) {
return ~~(time / 60) + ":" + (time % 60 < 10 ? "0" : "") + time % 60;
}
Seconds to h:mm:ss
var hours = Math.floor(time / 3600);
time -= hours * 3600;
var minutes = Math.floor(time / 60);
time -= minutes * 60;
var seconds = parseInt(time % 60, 10);
console.log(hours + ':' + (minutes < 10 ? '0' + minutes : minutes) + ':' + (seconds < 10 ? '0' + seconds : seconds));
The Following function will help you to get Days , Hours , Minutes , seconds
toDDHHMMSS(inputSeconds){
const Days = Math.floor( inputSeconds / (60 * 60 * 24) );
const Hour = Math.floor((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) / (60 * 60));
const Minutes = Math.floor(((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) % (60 * 60)) / 60 );
const Seconds = Math.floor(((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) % (60 * 60)) % 60 );
let ddhhmmss = '';
if (Days > 0){
ddhhmmss += Days + ' Day ';
}
if (Hour > 0){
ddhhmmss += Hour + ' Hour ';
}
if (Minutes > 0){
ddhhmmss += Minutes + ' Minutes ';
}
if (Seconds > 0){
ddhhmmss += Seconds + ' Seconds ';
}
return ddhhmmss;
}
alert( toDDHHMMSS(2000));
After all this, yet another simple solution:
const time = new Date(null);
time.setSeconds(7530);
console.log(time.getHours(), time.getMinutes(), time.getSeconds());
Another but much more elegant solution for this is as follows:
/**
* Convert number secs to display time
*
* 65 input becomes 01:05.
*
* #param Number inputSeconds Seconds input.
*/
export const toMMSS = inputSeconds => {
const secs = parseInt( inputSeconds, 10 );
let minutes = Math.floor( secs / 60 );
let seconds = secs - minutes * 60;
if ( 10 > minutes ) {
minutes = '0' + minutes;
}
if ( 10 > seconds ) {
seconds = '0' + seconds;
}
// Return display.
return minutes + ':' + seconds;
};
function formatSeconds(s: number) {
let minutes = ~~(s / 60);
let seconds = ~~(s % 60);
return minutes + ':' + seconds;
}
For adding zeros I really don't see the need to have a full other function where you can simply use for example
var mins=Math.floor(StrTime/60);
var secs=StrTime-mins * 60;
var hrs=Math.floor(StrTime / 3600);
RoundTime.innerHTML=(hrs>9?hrs:"0"+hrs) + ":" + (mins>9?mins:"0"+mins) + ":" + (secs>9?secs:"0"+secs);
Its why we have conditional statements in the first place.
(condition?if true:if false) so if example seconds is more than 9 than just show seconds else add a string 0 before it.
var seconds = 60;
var measuredTime = new Date(null);
measuredTime.setSeconds(seconds); // specify value of SECONDS
var Time = measuredTime.toISOString().substr(11, 8);
document.getElementById("id1").value = Time;
<div class="form-group">
<label for="course" class="col-md-4">Time</label>
<div class="col-md-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="id1" name="field">Min
</div>
</div>
Try this:
Converting Second to HOURS, MIN and SEC.
function convertTime(sec) {
var hours = Math.floor(sec/3600);
(hours >= 1) ? sec = sec - (hours*3600) : hours = '00';
var min = Math.floor(sec/60);
(min >= 1) ? sec = sec - (min*60) : min = '00';
(sec < 1) ? sec='00' : void 0;
(min.toString().length == 1) ? min = '0'+min : void 0;
(sec.toString().length == 1) ? sec = '0'+sec : void 0;
return hours+':'+min+':'+sec;
}
1 - Get rest of division using %. Now you have the seconds that don't complete a minute
2 - Subtract the seconds obtained in step 1 from the total. Now you have the minutes
For example, let's assume you have 700 seconds:
seconds = 700%60); //40 seconds
minutes = (700 - (700%60))/60; //11
//11:40
I was thinking of a faster way to get this done and this is what i came up with
var sec = parseInt(time);
var min=0;
while(sec>59){ sec-=60; min++;}
If we want to convert "time" to minutes and seconds, for example:
// time = 75,3 sec
var sec = parseInt(time); //sec = 75
var min=0;
while(sec>59){ sec-=60; min++;} //sec = 15; min = 1
Put my two cents in :
function convertSecondsToMinutesAndSeconds(seconds){
var minutes;
var seconds;
minutes = Math.floor(seconds/60);
seconds = seconds%60;
return [minutes, seconds];
}
So this :
var minutesAndSeconds = convertSecondsToMinutesAndSeconds(101);
Will have the following output :
[1,41];
Then you can print it like so :
console.log('TIME : ' + minutesSeconds[0] + ' minutes, ' + minutesSeconds[1] + ' seconds');
//TIME : 1 minutes, 41 seconds
export function TrainingTime(props) {
const {train_time } = props;
const hours = Math.floor(train_time/3600);
const minutes = Math.floor((train_time-hours * 3600) / 60);
const seconds = Math.floor((train_time%60));
return `${hours} hrs ${minutes} min ${seconds} sec`;
}
Day.js
If you use day.js, try this.
const dayjs = require('dayjs')
const duration = require('dayjs/plugin/duration')
dayjs.extend(duration)
const time = dayjs.duration(100, 'seconds')
time.seconds() // 40
time.minutes() // 1
time.format('mm:ss') // 01:40
I prefer thinking of Millisecond as its own unit, rather than as a subunit of something else. In that sense, it will have values of 0-999, so you're going to want to Pad three instead of two like I have seen with other answers. Here is an implementation:
function format(n) {
let mil_s = String(n % 1000).padStart(3, '0');
n = Math.trunc(n / 1000);
let sec_s = String(n % 60).padStart(2, '0');
n = Math.trunc(n / 60);
return String(n) + ' m ' + sec_s + ' s ' + mil_s + ' ms';
}
console.log(format(241));
https://developer.mozilla.org/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padStart
Here's an ES6 version of the seconds to minutes and seconds conversion, with padding (00:00 format). It only accepts integer values for seconds and ~~(x) is the shorthand floor operation.
const padTime = n => ("" + n).padStart(2, 0);
const secondsToMinSec = time =>
`${padTime(~~(time / 60))}:${padTime(time - ~~(time / 60) * 60)}`
;
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
const seconds = ~~(Math.random() * 300);
console.log(seconds, secondsToMinSec(seconds));
}
if you need to work with the result easily later this is what I use:
function seconds2hms(seconds, milliseconds) {
if(milliseconds) {
seconds = Math.floor(seconds/1000);
}
return {h:~~(seconds / 3600),m:~~((seconds % 3600) / 60),s:~~seconds % 60}
}
(used Vishal's code)
strftime.js (strftime github) is one of the best time formatting libraries. It's extremely light - 30KB - and effective. Using it you can convert seconds into time easily in one line of code, relying mostly on the native Date class.
When creating a new Date, each optional argument is positional as follows:
new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
So if you initialize a new Date with all arguments as zero up to the seconds, you'll get:
var seconds = 150;
var date = new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds);
=> Sun Dec 31 1899 00:02:30 GMT-0500 (EST)
You can see that 150 seconds is 2-minutes and 30-seconds, as seen in the date created. Then using an strftime format ("%M:%S" for "MM:SS"), it will output your minutes' string.
var mm_ss_str = strftime("%M:%S", date);
=> "02:30"
In one line, it would look like:
var mm_ss_str = strftime('%M:%S', new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "02:30"
Plus this would allow you to interchangeable support HH:MM:SS and MM:SS based on the number of seconds. For example:
# Less than an Hour (seconds < 3600)
var seconds = 2435;
strftime((seconds >= 3600 ? '%H:%M:%S' : '%M:%S'), new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "40:35"
# More than an Hour (seconds >= 3600)
var seconds = 10050;
strftime((seconds >= 3600 ? '%H:%M:%S' : '%M:%S'), new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "02:47:30"
And of course, you can simply pass whatever format you want to strftime if you want the time string to be more or less semantic.
var format = 'Honey, you said you\'d be read in %S seconds %M minutes ago!';
strftime(format, new Date(0,0,0,0,0,1210));
=> "Honey, you said you'd be read in 10 seconds 20 minutes ago!"
You've done enough code to track minutes and seconds portions of time.
What you could do is add the hours factor in:
var hrd = time % (60 * 60 * 60);
var hours = Math.floor(hrd / 60);
var mind = hrd % 60;
var minutes = Math.floor(mind / 60);
var secd = mind % 60;
var seconds = Math.ceil(secd);
var moreminutes = minutes + hours * 60

fmtMSS( '10'); // 0:10
fmtMSS( 59 ); // 0:59
fmtMSS( +'60'); // 1:00
fmtMSS( 69 ); // 1:09
fmtMSS( 3599 ); // 59:59
fmtMSS('3600'); // 60:00
fmtMSS('3661'); // 61:01
fmtMSS( 7425 ); // 123:45
Breakdown:
function fmtMSS(s){ // accepts seconds as Number or String. Returns m:ss
return( s - // take value s and subtract (will try to convert String to Number)
( s %= 60 ) // the new value of s, now holding the remainder of s divided by 60
// (will also try to convert String to Number)
) / 60 + ( // and divide the resulting Number by 60
// (can never result in a fractional value = no need for rounding)
// to which we concatenate a String (converts the Number to String)
// who's reference is chosen by the conditional operator:
9 < s // if seconds is larger than 9
? ':' // then we don't need to prepend a zero
: ':0' // else we do need to prepend a zero
) + s ; // and we add Number s to the string (converting it to String as well)
}
Note: Negative range could be added by prepending (0>s?(s=-s,'-'):'')+ to the return expression (actually, (0>s?(s=-s,'-'):0)+ would work as well).
2020 UPDATE
Using basic math and simple javascript this can be done in just a few lines of code.
EXAMPLE - Convert 7735 seconds to HH:MM:SS.
MATH:
Calculations use:
Math.floor() - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/floor
The Math.floor() function returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number.
% arithmetic operator (Remainder) - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Arithmetic_Operators#Remainder
The remainder operator returns the remainder left over when one operand is divided by a second operand. It always takes the sign of the dividend.
Check out code below. Seconds are divided by 3600 to get number of hours and a remainder, which is used to calculate number of minutes and seconds.
HOURS => 7735 / 3600 = 2 remainder 535
MINUTES => 535 / 60 = 8 remainder 55
SECONDS => 55
LEADING ZEROS:
Many answers here use complicated methods to show number of hours, minutes and seconds in a proper way with leading zero - 45, 04 etc. This can be done using padStart(). This works for strings so the number must be converted to string using toString().
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padStart
The padStart() method pads the current string with another string (multiple times, if needed) until the resulting string reaches the given length. The padding is applied from the start of the current string.
CODE:
function secondsToTime(e){
const h = Math.floor(e / 3600).toString().padStart(2,'0'),
m = Math.floor(e % 3600 / 60).toString().padStart(2,'0'),
s = Math.floor(e % 60).toString().padStart(2,'0');
return h + ':' + m + ':' + s;
//return `${h}:${m}:${s}`;
}
console.log(secondsToTime(7735)); // 02:08:55
/*
secondsToTime(SECONDS) // HH:MM:SS
secondsToTime(8) // 00:00:08
secondsToTime(68) // 00:01:08
secondsToTime(1768) // 00:29:28
secondsToTime(3600) // 01:00:00
secondsToTime(5296) // 01:28:16
secondsToTime(7735) // 02:08:55
secondsToTime(45296) // 12:34:56
secondsToTime(145296) // 40:21:36
secondsToTime(1145296) // 318:08:16
*/
2019 best variant
Format hh:mm:ss
console.log(display(60 * 60 * 2.5 + 25)) // 2.5 hours + 25 seconds
function display (seconds) {
const format = val => `0${Math.floor(val)}`.slice(-2)
const hours = seconds / 3600
const minutes = (seconds % 3600) / 60
return [hours, minutes, seconds % 60].map(format).join(':')
}
You can also use native Date object:
var date = new Date(null);
date.setSeconds(timeInSeconds);
// retrieve time ignoring the browser timezone - returns hh:mm:ss
var utc = date.toUTCString();
// negative start index in substr does not work in IE 8 and earlier
var time = utc.substr(utc.indexOf(':') - 2, 8)
// retrieve each value individually - returns h:m:s
var time = date.getUTCHours() + ':' + date.getUTCMinutes() + ':' + date.getUTCSeconds();
// does not work in IE8 and below - returns hh:mm:ss
var time = date.toISOString().substr(11, 8);
// not recommended - only if seconds number includes timezone difference
var time = date.toTimeString().substr(0, 8);
Of course this solution works only for timeInSeconds less than 24 hours ;)
function secondsToMinutes(time){
return Math.floor(time / 60)+':'+Math.floor(time % 60);
}
To add leading zeros, I would just do:
const secondsToMinSecPadded = time => {
const minutes = "0" + Math.floor(time / 60);
const seconds = "0" + (time - minutes * 60);
return minutes.substr(-2) + ":" + seconds.substr(-2);
};
console.log(secondsToMinSecPadded(241));
Nice and short
Moment.js
If you are using Moment.js then you can use there built in Duration object
const duration = moment.duration(4825, 'seconds');
const h = duration.hours(); // 1
const m = duration.minutes(); // 20
const s = duration.seconds(); // 25
Clean one liner using ES6
const secondsToMinutes = seconds => Math.floor(seconds / 60) + ':' + ('0' + Math.floor(seconds % 60)).slice(-2);
The most concise method I found can be done using in just one line:
let timeString = `${timeInSeconds/60|0}:${timeInSeconds%60}`
Explanation
`${...}`Template literals. Allows for expressions to be converted into a string from within the string itself.Note: Incompatible with IE.
timeInSeconds/60|0Takes the seconds and converts in into minutes (/60). This gives a rational number. From here it is truncated using the bitwise OR (|0)
timeInSeconds%60Remainder (modulo). Gives the remainder of the variable divided by 60.
Hours
This method can be expanded to include hours like this:
let timeString = `${timeInSeconds/60/60|0}:${timeInSeconds/60%60|0}:${timeInSeconds%60}`
Repeating this process, you can even include days.
A one liner (doesnt work with hours):
function sectostr(time) {
return ~~(time / 60) + ":" + (time % 60 < 10 ? "0" : "") + time % 60;
}
Seconds to h:mm:ss
var hours = Math.floor(time / 3600);
time -= hours * 3600;
var minutes = Math.floor(time / 60);
time -= minutes * 60;
var seconds = parseInt(time % 60, 10);
console.log(hours + ':' + (minutes < 10 ? '0' + minutes : minutes) + ':' + (seconds < 10 ? '0' + seconds : seconds));
The Following function will help you to get Days , Hours , Minutes , seconds
toDDHHMMSS(inputSeconds){
const Days = Math.floor( inputSeconds / (60 * 60 * 24) );
const Hour = Math.floor((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) / (60 * 60));
const Minutes = Math.floor(((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) % (60 * 60)) / 60 );
const Seconds = Math.floor(((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) % (60 * 60)) % 60 );
let ddhhmmss = '';
if (Days > 0){
ddhhmmss += Days + ' Day ';
}
if (Hour > 0){
ddhhmmss += Hour + ' Hour ';
}
if (Minutes > 0){
ddhhmmss += Minutes + ' Minutes ';
}
if (Seconds > 0){
ddhhmmss += Seconds + ' Seconds ';
}
return ddhhmmss;
}
alert( toDDHHMMSS(2000));
After all this, yet another simple solution:
const time = new Date(null);
time.setSeconds(7530);
console.log(time.getHours(), time.getMinutes(), time.getSeconds());
Another but much more elegant solution for this is as follows:
/**
* Convert number secs to display time
*
* 65 input becomes 01:05.
*
* #param Number inputSeconds Seconds input.
*/
export const toMMSS = inputSeconds => {
const secs = parseInt( inputSeconds, 10 );
let minutes = Math.floor( secs / 60 );
let seconds = secs - minutes * 60;
if ( 10 > minutes ) {
minutes = '0' + minutes;
}
if ( 10 > seconds ) {
seconds = '0' + seconds;
}
// Return display.
return minutes + ':' + seconds;
};
function formatSeconds(s: number) {
let minutes = ~~(s / 60);
let seconds = ~~(s % 60);
return minutes + ':' + seconds;
}
For adding zeros I really don't see the need to have a full other function where you can simply use for example
var mins=Math.floor(StrTime/60);
var secs=StrTime-mins * 60;
var hrs=Math.floor(StrTime / 3600);
RoundTime.innerHTML=(hrs>9?hrs:"0"+hrs) + ":" + (mins>9?mins:"0"+mins) + ":" + (secs>9?secs:"0"+secs);
Its why we have conditional statements in the first place.
(condition?if true:if false) so if example seconds is more than 9 than just show seconds else add a string 0 before it.
var seconds = 60;
var measuredTime = new Date(null);
measuredTime.setSeconds(seconds); // specify value of SECONDS
var Time = measuredTime.toISOString().substr(11, 8);
document.getElementById("id1").value = Time;
<div class="form-group">
<label for="course" class="col-md-4">Time</label>
<div class="col-md-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="id1" name="field">Min
</div>
</div>
Try this:
Converting Second to HOURS, MIN and SEC.
function convertTime(sec) {
var hours = Math.floor(sec/3600);
(hours >= 1) ? sec = sec - (hours*3600) : hours = '00';
var min = Math.floor(sec/60);
(min >= 1) ? sec = sec - (min*60) : min = '00';
(sec < 1) ? sec='00' : void 0;
(min.toString().length == 1) ? min = '0'+min : void 0;
(sec.toString().length == 1) ? sec = '0'+sec : void 0;
return hours+':'+min+':'+sec;
}
1 - Get rest of division using %. Now you have the seconds that don't complete a minute
2 - Subtract the seconds obtained in step 1 from the total. Now you have the minutes
For example, let's assume you have 700 seconds:
seconds = 700%60); //40 seconds
minutes = (700 - (700%60))/60; //11
//11:40
I was thinking of a faster way to get this done and this is what i came up with
var sec = parseInt(time);
var min=0;
while(sec>59){ sec-=60; min++;}
If we want to convert "time" to minutes and seconds, for example:
// time = 75,3 sec
var sec = parseInt(time); //sec = 75
var min=0;
while(sec>59){ sec-=60; min++;} //sec = 15; min = 1
Put my two cents in :
function convertSecondsToMinutesAndSeconds(seconds){
var minutes;
var seconds;
minutes = Math.floor(seconds/60);
seconds = seconds%60;
return [minutes, seconds];
}
So this :
var minutesAndSeconds = convertSecondsToMinutesAndSeconds(101);
Will have the following output :
[1,41];
Then you can print it like so :
console.log('TIME : ' + minutesSeconds[0] + ' minutes, ' + minutesSeconds[1] + ' seconds');
//TIME : 1 minutes, 41 seconds
export function TrainingTime(props) {
const {train_time } = props;
const hours = Math.floor(train_time/3600);
const minutes = Math.floor((train_time-hours * 3600) / 60);
const seconds = Math.floor((train_time%60));
return `${hours} hrs ${minutes} min ${seconds} sec`;
}
Day.js
If you use day.js, try this.
const dayjs = require('dayjs')
const duration = require('dayjs/plugin/duration')
dayjs.extend(duration)
const time = dayjs.duration(100, 'seconds')
time.seconds() // 40
time.minutes() // 1
time.format('mm:ss') // 01:40
I prefer thinking of Millisecond as its own unit, rather than as a subunit of something else. In that sense, it will have values of 0-999, so you're going to want to Pad three instead of two like I have seen with other answers. Here is an implementation:
function format(n) {
let mil_s = String(n % 1000).padStart(3, '0');
n = Math.trunc(n / 1000);
let sec_s = String(n % 60).padStart(2, '0');
n = Math.trunc(n / 60);
return String(n) + ' m ' + sec_s + ' s ' + mil_s + ' ms';
}
console.log(format(241));
https://developer.mozilla.org/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padStart
Here's an ES6 version of the seconds to minutes and seconds conversion, with padding (00:00 format). It only accepts integer values for seconds and ~~(x) is the shorthand floor operation.
const padTime = n => ("" + n).padStart(2, 0);
const secondsToMinSec = time =>
`${padTime(~~(time / 60))}:${padTime(time - ~~(time / 60) * 60)}`
;
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
const seconds = ~~(Math.random() * 300);
console.log(seconds, secondsToMinSec(seconds));
}
if you need to work with the result easily later this is what I use:
function seconds2hms(seconds, milliseconds) {
if(milliseconds) {
seconds = Math.floor(seconds/1000);
}
return {h:~~(seconds / 3600),m:~~((seconds % 3600) / 60),s:~~seconds % 60}
}
(used Vishal's code)
strftime.js (strftime github) is one of the best time formatting libraries. It's extremely light - 30KB - and effective. Using it you can convert seconds into time easily in one line of code, relying mostly on the native Date class.
When creating a new Date, each optional argument is positional as follows:
new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
So if you initialize a new Date with all arguments as zero up to the seconds, you'll get:
var seconds = 150;
var date = new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds);
=> Sun Dec 31 1899 00:02:30 GMT-0500 (EST)
You can see that 150 seconds is 2-minutes and 30-seconds, as seen in the date created. Then using an strftime format ("%M:%S" for "MM:SS"), it will output your minutes' string.
var mm_ss_str = strftime("%M:%S", date);
=> "02:30"
In one line, it would look like:
var mm_ss_str = strftime('%M:%S', new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "02:30"
Plus this would allow you to interchangeable support HH:MM:SS and MM:SS based on the number of seconds. For example:
# Less than an Hour (seconds < 3600)
var seconds = 2435;
strftime((seconds >= 3600 ? '%H:%M:%S' : '%M:%S'), new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "40:35"
# More than an Hour (seconds >= 3600)
var seconds = 10050;
strftime((seconds >= 3600 ? '%H:%M:%S' : '%M:%S'), new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "02:47:30"
And of course, you can simply pass whatever format you want to strftime if you want the time string to be more or less semantic.
var format = 'Honey, you said you\'d be read in %S seconds %M minutes ago!';
strftime(format, new Date(0,0,0,0,0,1210));
=> "Honey, you said you'd be read in 10 seconds 20 minutes ago!"
You've done enough code to track minutes and seconds portions of time.
What you could do is add the hours factor in:
var hrd = time % (60 * 60 * 60);
var hours = Math.floor(hrd / 60);
var mind = hrd % 60;
var minutes = Math.floor(mind / 60);
var secd = mind % 60;
var seconds = Math.ceil(secd);
var moreminutes = minutes + hours * 60

How to convert milliseconds into a readable date Minutes:Seconds Format?

In JavaScript I have a variable Time in milliseconds.
I would like to know if there is any build-in function to convert efficiently this value to Minutes:Seconds format.
If not could you please point me out a utility function.
Example:
FROM
462000 milliseconds
TO
7:42
Just create a Date object and pass the milliseconds as a parameter.
var date = new Date(milliseconds);
var h = date.getHours();
var m = date.getMinutes();
var s = date.getSeconds();
alert(((h * 60) + m) + ":" + s);
Thanks guys for your support, at th end I came up with this solution. I hope it can helps others.
Use:
var videoDuration = convertMillisecondsToDigitalClock(18050200).clock; // CONVERT DATE TO DIGITAL FORMAT
// CONVERT MILLISECONDS TO DIGITAL CLOCK FORMAT
function convertMillisecondsToDigitalClock(ms) {
hours = Math.floor(ms / 3600000), // 1 Hour = 36000 Milliseconds
minutes = Math.floor((ms % 3600000) / 60000), // 1 Minutes = 60000 Milliseconds
seconds = Math.floor(((ms % 360000) % 60000) / 1000) // 1 Second = 1000 Milliseconds
return {
hours : hours,
minutes : minutes,
seconds : seconds,
clock : hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds
};
}
In case you already using Moment.js in your project, you can use the moment.duration function
You can use it like this
var mm = moment.duration(37250000);
console.log(mm.hours() + ':' + mm.minutes() + ':' + mm.seconds());
output: 10:20:50
See jsbin sample
It's easy to make the conversion oneself:
var t = 462000
parseInt(t / 1000 / 60) + ":" + (t / 1000 % 60)
You may like pretty-ms npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/pretty-ms
If that what you are searching. Headless nice formatting (time in the units that are needed as ms grow), personalisable, and cover different situations. Small and efficient for what it cover.
function msToMS(ms) {
var M = Math.floor(ms / 60000);
ms -= M * 60000;
var S = ms / 1000;
return M + ":" + S;
}
