How to correctly use moment.js durations? | Use moment.duration() in codes
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, '')
