Steps to convert seconds to time string
1. Import the libraries
Let’s import the moment-duration-format plugin along with the Moment.js library. Use the following scripts to convert the seconds to time string.
1 2 3 4 5 | <!-- Moment.js library --> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.min.js"></script> <!-- moment-duration-format plugin --> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment-duration-format/1.3.0/moment-duration-format.min.js"></script> |
If you are using the NPM Package then add the following code in the page.
1 2 3 4 | import moment from "moment-timezone"; import momentDurationFormatSetup from "moment-duration-format"; momentDurationFormatSetup(moment); |
2. Use the script
After importing the libraries, use the following script to get the desired output.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | <script> function getTimeStr(seconds) { var duration = moment.duration(seconds, 'seconds'); return duration.format("d[d] h[h] m[m] s[s]"); } console.log(getTimeStr(386090)); // Output: 4d 11h 14m 50s console.log(getTimeStr(58372)); // Output: 16h 12m 52s console.log(getTimeStr(4583)); // Output: 1h 16m 23s console.log(getTimeStr(883)); // Output: 14m 43s |
3. Output
Let’s combine the above code together and see how it works. You will see the output in the console.
