I would like to display 0 minute in 'HH:mm' format. When I use moment.duration(0, 'minutes').format('HH:mm') it returns '00' instead of '00:00'. Is there a format type in moment.js which displays 0 minute as '00:00'?

• javascript
• datetime
• momentjs

• 1 moment.duration(0, 'minutes').format('HH:mm') throws an error because format isn't a valid method of duration. How did you get that working? – 31piy Commented Apr 10, 2018 at 11:40
• include moment-duration-format.js (github./jsmreese/moment-duration-format) – bugovicsb Commented Apr 10, 2018 at 21:35

If you really want to use the moment-duration-format extension then you need to set the trim option to false.

trim
The default trim behaviour is "large".
Largest-magnitude tokens are automatically trimmed when they have no value.
To stop trimming altogether, set { trim: false }.

console.log(moment.duration(0, 'minutes').format('hh:mm',{ trim: false }))

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare./ajax/libs/moment.js/2.22.0/moment.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare./ajax/libs/moment-duration-format/2.2.2/moment-duration-format.js"></script>

This will result in 00:00

Remove duration and simply use moment().format() syntax as moment.duration(0, 'minutes').format('HH:mm') will give you error of Uncaught TypeError: moment.duration(...).format is not a function

var res = moment(0, 'minutes').format('HH:mm');
console.log(res);

<script src="https://momentjs./downloads/moment.js"></script>

Try following code

moment.utc(0).format('HH:mm')

If you really want to use format on duration generated. This is the way to do it.

ps. No need for extra moment-duration-format library etc

Thanks

var duration = moment(moment.duration("0")).format("HH:mm");
 

console.log(duration)
