Examples

Display Minute

<p>Minute: {{minuteOf(model.time)}}</p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    time = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, 0)
};

Output:

<p>Minute: 30</p>

Custom Time Format

<p>Time: {{hourOf(model.time)}}:{{padLeft(string(minuteOf(model.time)), 2, '0')}}</p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    time = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 9, 5, 0)
};

Output:

<p>Time: 9:05</p>

Appointment Slot Detection

<p>Time Slot:
{{#if (minuteOf(model.appointmentTime) == 0)}}
  On the hour
{{else if (minuteOf(model.appointmentTime) == 30)}}
  Half past
{{else}}
  {{minuteOf(model.appointmentTime)}} minutes past
{{/if}}
</p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    appointmentTime = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, 0)
};

Output:

<p>Time Slot: Half past</p>

Parking Time Calculation

<h3>Parking Duration</h3>
<p>Hours: {{hoursBetween(model.entry, model.exit)}}</p>
<p>Additional minutes: {{minuteOf(model.exit) - minuteOf(model.entry)}}</p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    entry = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 10, 15, 0),
    exit = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 12, 45, 0)
};

Output:

<h3>Parking Duration</h3>
<p>Hours: 2</p>
<p>Additional minutes: 30</p>

Meeting Start Validation

{{#each model.meetings}}
  <p>{{format(this.startTime, 'h:mm tt')}}
  {{#if (minuteOf(this.startTime) != 0 && minuteOf(this.startTime) != 30)}}
    (Non-standard start time)
  {{/if}}
  </p>
{{/each}}

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    meetings = new[] {
        new { startTime = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 9, 0, 0) },
        new { startTime = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 10, 15, 0) },
        new { startTime = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 11, 30, 0) }
    }
};

Output:

<p>9:00 AM</p>
<p>10:15 AM (Non-standard start time)</p>
<p>11:30 AM</p>

Notes

  • Returns 0-59
  • Date and hour components are ignored
  • For full time formatting, use format() function
  • Useful for:
    • Custom time display
    • Time slot validation
    • Duration calculations
    • Schedule adherence checking
  • Combine with hourOf() for complete time parsing
  • Use padLeft() for zero-padded display (e.g., “05” instead of “5”)
