JavaScript seconds to time string with format hh:m

Question

I want to convert a duration of time, i.e., number of seconds to colon-separated time string (hh:mm:ss)

I found some useful answers here but they all talk about converting to x hours and x minutes format.

So is there a tiny snippet that does this in jQuery or just raw JavaScript?

Answer 1

s2t=function (t){
  return parseInt(t/86400)+'d '+(new Date(t%86400*1000)).toUTCString().replace(/.*(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2}).*/, "$1h $2m $3s");
}

s2t(123456);

result:

1d 10h 17m 36s

Answer 2

To get the time part in the format hh:MM:ss, you can use this regular expression:

(This was mentioned above in same post by someone, thanks for that.)

    var myDate = new Date().toTimeString().replace(/.*(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}).*/, "$1");
    console.log(myDate)

Answer 3

A Google search turned up this result:

function secondsToTime(secs)
{
    secs = Math.round(secs);
    var hours = Math.floor(secs / (60 * 60));

    var divisor_for_minutes = secs % (60 * 60);
    var minutes = Math.floor(divisor_for_minutes / 60);

    var divisor_for_seconds = divisor_for_minutes % 60;
    var seconds = Math.ceil(divisor_for_seconds);

    var obj = {
        "h": hours,
        "m": minutes,
        "s": seconds
    };
    return obj;
}

Answer 4

Here is my vision of solution. You can try my snippet below.

function secToHHMM(sec) {
  var d = new Date();
  d.setHours(0);
  d.setMinutes(0);
  d.setSeconds(0);
  d = new Date(d.getTime() + sec*1000);
  return d.toLocaleString('en-GB').split(' ')[1];
};

alert( 'One hour: ' + secToHHMM(60*60) ); // '01:00:00'
alert( 'One hour five minutes: ' + secToHHMM(60*60 + 5*60) ); // '01:05:00'
alert( 'One hour five minutes 23 seconds: ' + secToHHMM(60*60 + 5*60 + 23) ); // '01:05:23'

Answer 5

secToHHMM(number: number) {
    debugger;
    let hours = Math.floor(number / 3600);
    let minutes = Math.floor((number - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
    let seconds = number - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);
    let H, M, S;
    if (hours < 10) H = ("0" + hours);
    if (minutes < 10) M = ("0" + minutes);
    if (seconds < 10) S = ("0" + seconds);
    return (H || hours) + ':' + (M || minutes) + ':' + (S || seconds);
}

Answer 6

You can use the following function to convert time (in seconds) to HH:MM:SS format :

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

---

Demo

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 : ':' );
}

document.body.innerHTML = '<pre>' + JSON.stringify({
    5.3515555 : convertTime(5.3515555),
    126.2344452 : convertTime(126.2344452, '-'),
    1156.1535548 : convertTime(1156.1535548, '.'),
    9178.1351559 : convertTime(9178.1351559, ':'),
    13555.3515135 : convertTime(13555.3515135, ',')
}, null, '\t') +  '</pre>';
