How moment.js works with declination minutes and hours?

Question

Tell me pls, have a number, for example 1440 and i need get or minute, or minutes, or hour or hours. What can I do? I do:

var getTimeouts = function (timeouts) {
    var timeout = +timeouts,
        timeoutValue = "";

    if (timeout > 0) {
        if (timeout % 60 == 0) {
            if (timeout == 60) {
                // timeoutValue = '1 hour';
            } else {
                // timeoutValue = '... hours';
            }
        }  else {
            if (timeout == 1) {
                // timeoutValue = '1 minute';
            } else {
                // timeoutValue = '... minutes';
            }
        }
    }

    return timeoutValue;
};

console.log(getTimeouts(1440)); // 24 hours

Question: how with momont.js I can parse a number and get minute/minutes/hour/hours?

Answer 1

You can only sort of do this with momentjs.

moment.duration().humanize() will give you a string that loosely represents the duration.

moment.duration(60,"minute").humanize(); //= an hour
moment.duration(1,"minute").humanize();  //= a minute
moment.duration(5,"minute").humanize();  //= 5 minutes
moment.duration(55,"minute").humanize(); //= an hour       <-!!!

Depending on you needs, it might be good enough.

But if you need something that is actually accurate, use the HumanizeDuration plugin .

humanizeDuration(3000)      // "3 seconds"
humanizeDuration(2015)      // "2.25 seconds"
humanizeDuration(97320000)  // "1 day, 3 hours, 2 minutes"

And if you don't need the extra language support it comes with, just manually delete those parts of the plugin.

Edit:

In case I misunderstood and you just need a number representing the hours, minutes, seconds, etc.

You can use moment.duration().as('something') .

var getTimeouts = function (timeouts) {
    var timeout = +timeouts,
        timeoutValue = "";

    if (timeout > 0) {
        if (timeout % 60 == 0) {
            if (timeout == 60) {
                timeoutValue = '1 hour';
            } else {
                timeoutValue = parseInt(
                moment.duration(timeouts, 'minutes').as('hours'), 10) + ' hours';
            }
        } else {
            if (timeout == 1) {
                timeoutValue = '1 minute';
            } else {
                timeoutValue = parseInt(
                moment.duration(timeouts, 'minutes').as('minute'), 10) + ' minutes';
            }
        }
    }

    return timeoutValue;
};

You could of course add the logic to make it give you stuff like "1 hour, 2 minutes"
