Formatting a Duration like HH:mm:ss

Question

Is there a good way to format a Duration in something like hh:mm:ss, without having to deal with time zones?

I tried this:

DateTime durationDate = Da         


        

Answer 1

Here's another version. It's all preference at this point, but I liked that it was dry and didn't need a function declaration (the wrapping function is obviously optional) though it is definately a bit function chaining heavy.

Compact

String formatTime(double time) {
    Duration duration = Duration(milliseconds: time.round());
    return [duration.inHours, duration.inMinutes, duration.inSeconds].map((seg) => seg.remainder(60).toString().padLeft(2, '0')).join(':');
}

Formatted version

String timeFormatter (double time) {
    Duration duration = Duration(milliseconds: time.round());

    return [duration.inHours, duration.inMinutes, duration.inSeconds]
      .map((seg) => seg.remainder(60).toString().padLeft(2, '0'))
      .join(':');
}

Answer 2

The shortest, most elegant and reliable way to get HH:mm:ss from a Duration is doing:

format(Duration d) => d.toString().split('.').first.padLeft(8, "0");

Example usage:

main() {
  final d1 = Duration(hours: 17, minutes: 3);
  final d2 = Duration(hours: 9, minutes: 2, seconds: 26);
  final d3 = Duration(milliseconds: 0);
  print(format(d1)); // 17:03:00
  print(format(d2)); // 09:02:26
  print(format(d3)); // 00:00:00
}

Answer 3

You can start creating a format yourself, come on this one:

String sDuration="${duration.inHours}:${duration.inMinutes.remainder(60)}:${(duration.inSeconds.remainder(60))}

Answer 4

You can use Duration and implement this method:

String _printDuration(Duration duration) {
  String twoDigits(int n) => n.toString().padLeft(2, "0");
  String twoDigitMinutes = twoDigits(duration.inMinutes.remainder(60));
  String twoDigitSeconds = twoDigits(duration.inSeconds.remainder(60));
  return "${twoDigits(duration.inHours)}:$twoDigitMinutes:$twoDigitSeconds";
}

Usage:

final now = Duration(seconds: 30);
print("${_printDuration(now)}");

Answer 5

format(Duration d) => d.toString().split('.').first.padLeft(8, "0");

main() {
  final d1 = Duration(hours: 17, minutes: 3);
  final d2 = Duration(hours: 9, minutes: 2, seconds: 26);
  final d3 = Duration(milliseconds: 0);
  print(format(d1)); // 17:03:00
  print(format(d2)); // 09:02:26
  print(format(d3)); // 00:00:00
}
