javascript - How do I parse an ISO 8601 formatted duration using moment.js?

Question

I have an ISO 8601 formatted duration, for eg: PT5M or PT120S.

Is there any way I can parse these using moment.js and fetch the number of minutes specified in the duration?

Thank you!

PS: I looked at Parse ISO 8601 durations and Convert ISO 8601 time format into normal time duration

but was keen to know if this was do-able with moment.

Answer 1

moment does parse ISO-formatted durations out of the box with the moment.duration method:

moment.duration('P1Y2M3DT4H5M6S')

The regex is gnarly, but supports a number of edge cases and is pretty thoroughly tested.
