h:mm:ss to seconds and vice versa

[fxck]

Is there any way to get seconds from say 5:45:15?

This is being added with this pull request. #702

moment.duration("5:45:15").asSeconds();

In the meantime, I suppose you could use something like this as a workaround.

var a = moment.utc('5:45:15', 'H:mm:ss'),
    b = a.clone().startOf('day');
return a.diff(b, 'seconds');

and the other way around? second to h:mm:ss?

d = moment.duration({s: 1000});
moment().startOf('day').add(d).format('HH:mm:ss')

that won't work for more than 24 hours though.

So momentjs as it is, is not quite the right tool for this kind of stuff..

[ichernev]

Well, as @timrwood said there is a patch comming that would enable one of the conversions. About the other way around -- there is a way to humanize a duration, but it won't be in a specific format. There was some discussion (#463) about controlling the formatting of humanize, but nothing implemented yet. If you have a specific proposal for an api I'll be glad to hear it.

What would be nice is you said here #704 (comment) only if you could call .format() directly on duration like this moment.duration({s: 1000}).format('HH:mm:ss');..

[ichernev]

This sounds like a feature request. Can you form it as such and specify format tokens/semantics.

Closing this in favor of #1048.
