Convert milliseconds to an ISO 8601 duration

What is the easiest way to convert a time duration in milliseconds to an ISO 8601 duration using Moment.js?

For example:

3600000 milliseconds > PT1H
Solution

  • You can do it like:

    // Duration 1 hour
var duration = moment.duration(1, 'h');
console.log( duration.asMilliseconds() )   // 3600000

// Convert to ISO8601 duration string
console.log( duration.toISOString() )      // "PT1H"

    Also, 5 minutes like:

    var duration = moment.duration(5, 'm');
console.log( duration.asMilliseconds() )   // 300000

// Convert to ISO8601 duration string
console.log( duration.toISOString() )      // "PT5M"
