duration filter
Duration creation
duration
Description:
Creates a Moment.js duration object from a duration number, or a string representing a duration. This duration object can then be used with the other duration filters. It returns a number representing the specified duration in the specified unit. If not specified, and the input is a number, it will be interpreted as a number of milliseconds.
Syntax:
{{ NumberOrString | duration([unit] }}
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
unit | The unit of the duration number. One of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years. If not specified, and the input is a number, it will be interpreted as a number of milliseconds. The shorthand keys are: 'y', 'Q', 'M', 'w', 'd', 'h', 'm', 's' and 'ms' for years, quarter, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds respectively. |
Examples:
| Format | Output |
|---|---|
{{ 3 | duration("minutes") }} | 3 |
{{ "2:30:00" | duration }} | 9000000 |
{{ {days:2,hours:12} | duration }} | 216000000 |
2} | duration
Duration formatting
You might want to display duration in a specific format. Momentjs provides some methods to display duration in different formats.
humanize
Description:
Formats a Moment.js duration object into a user-friendly string. To format it in a specific locale (language), use the duration("locale") filter first. It applies to a Moment.js duration object, as returned by the duration([unit]) filter.
Syntax:
{{ durationObject | duration("humanize" [,relative]) }}
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
relative | If true, the duration will be formatted as a relative duration from now (e.g. 3 hours ago). Default is false. |
Examples:
| Format | Output |
|---|---|
{{ 3 | duration("hours") | duration("humanize") }} | 3 hours |
{{ 3 | duration("hours") | duration("humanize", true) }} | in 3 hours |
{{ -3 | duration("hours") | duration("humanize", true) }} | 3 hours ago |
{{ issue.fields.created | date("diff") | duration | duration("humanize", true) }} | 3 months ago |
locale
Description:
Specifies a locale to use for a subsequent duration("humanize") filter.
Syntax:
{{ durationObject | duration("locale", locale) }}
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
locale | A two-letter locale identifier, such as en or fr |
Examples:
| Format | Output |
|---|---|
{{ 2 | duration("hours") | duration("locale", "fr") | duration("humanize") }} | 2 heures |
{{ 1 | duration("minutes") | duration("locale", "es") | duration("humanize") }} | |
Duration calculations
You might want to manipulate a duration before setting it to a field. For example, you might want to set a custom field to the difference of the Original estimate and Time Spent. Below are some methods to help with these manipulations.
add
Description:
Adds time to a Moment.js duration.
Syntax:
{{ durationObject | duration('add' , amount [, unit ] ) }}
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
amount | The amount of time to add. Can be a number or another Moment.js duration object |
unit | The unit of the amount parameter. One of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years. If not specified, and the amount parameter is a number, it will be interpreted as a number of milliseconds. The shorthand keys are: 'y', 'Q', 'M', 'w', 'd', 'h', 'm', 's' and 'ms' for years, quarter, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds respectively. |
Examples:
| Input | Details | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Returns the duration in milliseconds. | 777600000 |
{{ 3 | duration("hours") | duration("add", -6, "hours") | duration("humanize", true) }} | The number can be negative. Apply the duration("humanize") filter to display the duration as a relative time. | 3 hours ago |
{{ 5 | duration("months") | duration('add' , {months:2, days:3}) | duration ("humanize") }} | You can also pass them in object literal | 7 months |
{{ issue.fields.timeoriginalestimate | duration | duration("add",1,"hours") }} | Add an hour to the Original estimate of the issue. | Duration in milliseconds. For example |
{{ issue.fields.timeestimate | duration | duration("add",issue.fields.timespent) | duration("humanize", true)) }} | Adds the Remaining estimate and the Time Spent on the issue. | Duration as a relative time. For example |
subtract
Description:
Subtracts time from a Moment.js duration.
Syntax:
{{ durationObject | duration('subtract' , amount [, unit ] ) }}
Parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
amount | The amount of time to subtract. Can be a number or another Moment.js duration object |
unit | The unit of the amount parameter. One of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years. If not specified, and the amount parameter is a number, it will be interpreted as a number of milliseconds. The shorthand keys are: 'y', 'Q', 'M', 'w', 'd', 'h', 'm', 's' and 'ms' for years, quarter, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds respectively. |
Examples:
| Input | Details | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Returns the duration in milliseconds. | -259200000 |
{{ 3 | duration("days") | duration("subtract", -6, "days") | The number can be negative. Apply the duration filter to display the duration in days. | 9 |
{{ 5 | duration("months") | duration('subtract' , {months:2, days:3}) | duration ("humanize", true) }} | You can also pass them in object literal | in 3 months |
{{ issue.fields.timeoriginalestimate | duration | duration("subtract",1,"hours") }} | Subtracts an hour to the Original estimate of the issue. | Duration in milliseconds. For example
|
{{ issue.fields.timeestimate | duration | duration("subtract",issue.fields.timespent) | | Subtracts the Remaining estimate and the Time Spent on the issue. | Duration as a relative time. For example
|
get
