Convert duration form seconds to ISO format in javascript

Question

I want to convert duration time from seconds to ISO format, like this:

 5400 => 'PT1H30M'

I tried:

var isoDuration = moment.duration(5400,'seconds').toISOString();
alert(isoDuration); 

But that doesn't work; in Chrome I get this error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: moment is not defined

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The code you were trying to use requires a library called Moment.js, which eases the difficulty of handling native Date objects in JavaScript.

You need to include the Moment.js library via a <script> tag in order to execute this code:

var isoDuration = moment.duration(5400,'seconds').toISOString();
console.log(isoDuration);

<!-- Include this tag somewhere *before* the code using `moment` runs -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.17.1/moment.min.js"></script>

Answer 2

You need to include moment.js library.

// HTML
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.17.1/moment.js"></script>

// JS
var isoDuration = moment.duration(5400,'seconds').toISOString();
alert(isoDuration);
