I have two functions in my app, one where I get the instance of the next weekday I choose (get me next thursday for example), then I have a function which calculates remianing days,hours,minutes and seconds.
So far I can get remaining days, but hours, minutes and seconds show as 0. This is because when the date I get for next thursday doesnt have the required timestamp format:
nextThursday "2022-03-24T15:11:48.580Z"
LOG Days: 5.999999745370371
LOG Hours: 0
LOG Minutes: 0
LOG Seconds: 0
HOW CAN I ADD HOURS AND MINUTES (00:00) to the moment timestamp I get, I think that would be the problem!
let nextThursday = getNextThursday();
getCountdown();
const getNextThursday = () =>
{
const dayINeed = 4; // for Thursday
const today = moment().isoWeekday();
// if we haven't yet passed the day of the week that I need:
if (today <= dayINeed) {
// then just give me this week's instance of that day
return moment().isoWeekday(dayINeed);
} else {
// otherwise, give me *next week's* instance of that same day
return moment().add(1, 'weeks').isoWeekday(dayINeed);
}
};
const getCountdown = (ending) =>
{
var now = moment();
var end = moment(ending); // another date
var duration = moment.duration(end.diff(now));
//Get Days and subtract from duration
var days = duration.asDays();
duration.subtract(moment.duration(days,'days'));
//Get hours and subtract from duration
var hours = duration.hours();
duration.subtract(moment.duration(hours,'hours'));
//Get Minutes and subtract from duration
var minutes = duration.minutes();
duration.subtract(moment.duration(minutes,'minutes'));
//Get seconds
var seconds = duration.seconds();
console.log("Days: ",days);
console.log("Hours: ",hours);
console.log("Minutes: ",minutes);
console.log("Seconds: ",seconds);
};
Your problem is you're using asDays() which converts your duration to a decimal number (including hours, minutes, and seconds in decimal part)
And you don't need to call moment.duration(x,'x') in every subtraction
The fix should be
const getCountdown = (ending) => {
var now = moment();
var end = moment(ending); // another date
var duration = moment.duration(end.diff(now));
//Get Days and subtract from duration
var days = duration.days();
duration.subtract(days, 'days');
//Get hours and subtract from duration
var hours = duration.hours();
duration.subtract(hours, 'hours');
//Get Minutes and subtract from duration
var minutes = duration.minutes();
duration.subtract(minutes, 'minutes');
//Get seconds
var seconds = duration.seconds();
console.log("Days: ", days);
console.log("Hours: ", hours);
console.log("Minutes: ", minutes);
console.log("Seconds: ", seconds);
};
