SimpleDuration(duration)


Use this constructor to instantiate a new SimpleDuration object.

Parameter(s):

NameTypeMandatoryDefault value
durationInteger (seconds)N''
durationString (duration in the 'hh:mm:ss' format)N''

Example:

SimpleDuration()
const durationOne = new SimpleDuration(3600);
const durationTwo = new SimpleDuration('00:30:00');

add(duration)


Use this method to add to the current value the value of another SimpleDuration object. The value of the current object changes. The method returns the sum as a new SimpleDuration object.

Parameter(s):

NameTypeMandatoryDefault value
durationSimpleDurationYN

Return:

TypeDescription
SimpleDurationThe sum of two SimpleDuration objects.

Example:

add()
const durationOne = new SimpleDuration(3600);
const durationTwo = new SimpleDuration('00:30:00');
const totalDuration = durationOne.add(durationTwo);
ss.info(totalDuration.getDurationValue());
// Info: 01:30:00

getByFormat(format)


This method allows to get the duration value in the set format.

Parameter(s):

NameTypeMandatoryDefault value
formatStringN'Y-m-d H:i:s'

StringA string in the set format.

Example:

getByFormat()
const datetime = new SimpleDateTime('2019-11-12 15:34:13');
const duration = new SimpleDuration(datetime.getNumericValue());
ss.info(duration.getByFormat('j F Y (D) H:i:s'));
// Info: 12 November 2019 (Tue) 15:34:13

getDayPart()

Return:

TypeDescription
IntegerThe number of days.

Example:

getDayPart()
const duration = new SimpleDuration('02 01:30:00');
ss.info(duration.getDayPart());
// Info: 2

getDurationValue()


This method allows to get the value from the SimpleDuration object in 'd H:i:s' format.

Return:

TypeDescription
StringThe duration value.

Example:

getDurationValue()
const duration = new SimpleDuration(7200);
ss.info(duration.getDurationValue());
// Info: 02:00:00

getRoundedDayPart()


This method returns the number of days, taking into account the quantity of hours in the SimpleDuration object. If the number of hours is less than 12, the method rounds the value down. Otherwise, it rounds the value up.

Return:

TypeDescription
