javascript parse time (minutes:seconds) from milliseconds

Question

How to parse a given amount of milliseconds (e.g. 125230.41294642858) into a time format like: minutes:seconds?

Answer 1

Even though moment.js does not provide such functionality, if you come here and you are already using moment.js, try this:

function getFormattedMs(ms) {
  var duration = moment.duration(ms);
  return moment.utc(duration.asMilliseconds()).format("mm:ss");
}

This workaround in moment was introduced in this Issue.
