Convert HH:MM:SS string to seconds only in javascr

Question

I am having similar requirement as this: Convert time in HH:MM:SS format to seconds only?

but in javascript. I have seen many examples of converting seconds into different formats but not HH:MM:SS into seconds. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

new Date(moment('23:04:33', "HH:mm")).getTime()

Output: 1499755980000 (in millisecond) ( 1499755980000/1000) (in second)

Note : this output calculate diff from 1970-01-01 12:0:0 to now and we need to implement the moment.js

Answer 2

You can do this dynamically - in case you encounter not only: HH:mm:ss, but also, mm:ss, or even ss alone.

var str = '12:99:07';
var times = str.split(":");
times.reverse();
var x = times.length, y = 0, z;
for (var i = 0; i < x; i++) {
    z = times[i] * Math.pow(60, i);
    y += z;
}
console.log(y);

Answer 3

This function handels "HH:MM:SS" as well as "MM:SS" or "SS".

function hmsToSecondsOnly(str) {
    var p = str.split(':'),
        s = 0, m = 1;

    while (p.length > 0) {
        s += m * parseInt(p.pop(), 10);
        m *= 60;
    }

    return s;
}

Answer 4

Convert hh:mm:ss string to seconds in one line. Also allowed h:m:s format and mm:ss, m:s etc

'08:45:20'.split(':').reverse().reduce((prev, curr, i) => prev + curr*Math.pow(60, i), 0)

Answer 5

Since the getTime function of the Date object gets the milliseconds since 1970/01/01, we can do this:

var time = '12:23:00';
var seconds = new Date('1970-01-01T' + time + 'Z').getTime() / 1000;
