How to use format on a moment js duration

Question

Is there any way I can use the moment js format method on duration objects   I can t find it anywhere in the docs and it doesn t seen to be an attribute on duration objects  I d like to be able to do something like  var diff   moment end  unix   - moment start  unix    moment duration diff  format  hh mm ss    Also  if there are any other libraries which can easily accommodate this sort of functionality  I d be interested in recommendations  Thanks

My solution that does not involve any other library and it works with diff   24h  var momentInSeconds   moment duration n  seconds   console log   0    Math floor momentInSeconds asHours     slice -2            0    momentInSeconds minutes    slice -2            0    momentInSeconds seconds    slice -2

If all hours must be displayed  more than 24  and if  0  before hours is not necessary  then formatting can be done with a short line of code   Math floor duration as  h      moment utc duration as  ms    format   mm ss

You don t need  format  Use durations like this   const duration   moment duration 83   seconds    console log duration minutes          duration seconds        output  1 23   I found this solution here  https   github com moment moment issues 463  EDIT   And with padding for seconds  minutes and hours   const withPadding    duration    gt        if  duration asDays    gt  0            return  at least one day         else           return                 0    duration hours    slice -2                 0    duration minutes    slice -2                 0    duration seconds    slice -2             join               withPadding moment duration 83   seconds       00 01 23  withPadding moment duration 6048000   seconds       at least one day

I needed to do this for work as a requirement to display the hours in this format  At first I tried this   moment utc totalMilliseconds  format  HH mm ss     However anything over 24 hours and the hours reset to 0  But the minutes and seconds were accurate  So I used only that part for the minutes and seconds   var minutesSeconds   moment utc totalMilliseconds  format  mm ss     Now all I need is the total hours   var hours   moment duration totalMilliseconds  asHours   toFixed     And to get that format that we all want we just glue it together   var formatted   hours         minutesSeconds   if totalMilliseconds is 894600000 this will return 249 30 00   Hope that helped  Leave any questions in the comments

How to correctly use moment js durations    Use moment duration   in code  First you need to import moment and moment-duration-format   import moment from  moment   import  moment-duration-format     Then  use duration function  Let us apply the above example  28800   8 am   moment duration 28800   seconds   format  h mm a      Well  you do not have above type error  Do you get a right value 8 00 am   No     the value you get is 8 00 a  Moment js format is not working as it is supposed to   The solution is to transform seconds to milliseconds and use UTC time   moment utc moment duration value   seconds   asMilliseconds    format  h mm a     All right we get 8 00 am now  If you want 8 am instead of 8 00 am for integral time  we need to do RegExp  const time   moment utc moment duration value   seconds   asMilliseconds    format  h mm a    time replace   00 g

I use the classic format function in these cases   var diff   moment end  unix   - moment start  unix       use unix function instead of difference moment unix diff  format  hh mm ss     This is a hack because the time diff is treated as a standard moment date  an early epoch date time  but it doesn t matter to our goal and you don t need any plugin
