What is timespan in javascript?

Here a .NET C# similar implementation of a timespan class that supports days, hours, minutes and seconds. This implementation also supports negative timespans.

const MILLIS_PER_SECOND = 1000;
const MILLIS_PER_MINUTE = MILLIS_PER_SECOND * 60;   //     60,000
const MILLIS_PER_HOUR = MILLIS_PER_MINUTE * 60;     //  3,600,000
const MILLIS_PER_DAY = MILLIS_PER_HOUR * 24;        // 86,400,000

How to use

Create a new TimeSpan object

From zero


    const ts = TimeSpan.zero;

From milliseconds


    const milliseconds = 10000; // 1 second

    // by using the constructor
    const ts1 = new TimeSpan(milliseconds);

    // or as an alternative you can use the static factory method
    const ts2 = TimeSpan.fromMilliseconds(milliseconds);

From seconds


    const seconds = 86400; // 1 day
    const ts = TimeSpan.fromSeconds(seconds);

From minutes


    const minutes = 1440; // 1 day
    const ts = TimeSpan.fromMinutes(minutes);

From hours


    const hours = 24; // 1 day
    const ts = TimeSpan.fromHours(hours);

From days


    const days = 1; // 1 day
    const ts = TimeSpan.fromDays(days);

From time with given hours, minutes and seconds


    const hours = 1;
    const minutes = 1;
    const seconds = 1;
    const ts = TimeSpan.fromTime(hours, minutes, seconds);

From time2 with given days, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds


    const days = 1;
    const hours = 1;
    const minutes = 1;
    const seconds = 1;
    const milliseconds = 1;
    const ts = TimeSpan.fromTime(days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);

From maximal safe integer


    const ts = TimeSpan.maxValue;

From minimal safe integer


    const ts = TimeSpan.minValue;

From minimal safe integer


    const ts = TimeSpan.minValue;

Add


    const ts1 = TimeSpan.fromDays(1);
    const ts2 = TimeSpan.fromHours(1);
    const ts = ts1.add(ts2);

    console.log(ts.days);               // 1
    console.log(ts.hours);              // 1
    console.log(ts.minutes);            // 0
    console.log(ts.seconds);            // 0
    console.log(ts.milliseconds);           // 0

Subtract


    const ts1 = TimeSpan.fromDays(1);
    const ts2 = TimeSpan.fromHours(1);
    const ts = ts1.subtract(ts2);

    console.log(ts.days);               // 0
    console.log(ts.hours);              // 23
    console.log(ts.minutes);            // 0
    console.log(ts.seconds);            // 0
    console.log(ts.milliseconds);           // 0

Getting the intervals


    const days = 1;
    const hours = 1;
    const minutes = 1;
    const seconds = 1;
    const milliseconds = 1;
    const ts = TimeSpan.fromTime2(days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);

    console.log(ts.days);               // 1
    console.log(ts.hours);              // 1
    console.log(ts.minutes);            // 1
    console.log(ts.seconds);            // 1
    console.log(ts.milliseconds);           // 1

    console.log(ts.totalDays)           // 1.0423726967592593;
    console.log(ts.totalHours)          // 25.016944722222224;
    console.log(ts.totalMinutes)            // 1501.0166833333333;
    console.log(ts.totalSeconds)            // 90061.001;
    console.log(ts.totalMilliseconds);      // 90061001;

What is data type TimeSpan?

TimeSpan (amount of time) is a new data type that can be used to store information about an elapsed time period or a time span. For example, the value in the picture (148:05:36.254) consists of 148 hours, 5 minutes, 36 seconds, and 254 milliseconds.

What is time stamp JS?

A Timestamp represents a point in time independent of any time zone or calendar, represented as seconds and fractions of seconds at nanosecond resolution in UTC Epoch time. It is encoded using the Proleptic Gregorian Calendar which extends the Gregorian calendar backwards to year one.

What is time Object JavaScript?

JavaScript Date objects represent a single moment in time in a platform-independent format. Date objects contain a Number that represents milliseconds since 1 January 1970 UTC.

Can JS handle date and time?

The date and time is broken up and printed in a way that we can understand as humans. JavaScript, however, understands the date based on a timestamp derived from Unix time, which is a value consisting of the number of milliseconds that have passed since midnight on January 1st, 1970.
