secondOf() : Extract Second from DateTime

Summary

Extract the second component from a datetime value as a number (0-59).

Signature

secondOf(datetime)

Parameters

Returns

Type: Number (Integer)

The second as a number from 0 to 59.

Examples

Display Second

<p>Second: </p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    time = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 14, 30, 45)
};

Output:

<p>Second: 45</p>

Precise Time Display

<p>Time: ::</p>

Data:

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

Output:

<p>Time: 9:05:03</p>

Timestamp Validation

  <p>
  
    (Rounded)
  
  </p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    events = new[] {
        new { timestamp = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 10, 30, 0) },
        new { timestamp = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 10, 32, 15) },
        new { timestamp = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 10, 35, 0) }
    }
};

Output:

<p>10:30:00 AM (Rounded)</p>
<p>10:32:15 AM</p>
<p>10:35:00 AM (Rounded)</p>

Performance Timing

<h3>Request Processing Time</h3>
<p>Start: </p>
<p>End: </p>
<p>Seconds: </p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    startTime = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 10, 0, 12),
    endTime = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 10, 0, 47)
};

Output:

<h3>Request Processing Time</h3>
<p>Start: 10:00:12</p>
<p>End: 10:00:47</p>
<p>Seconds: 35</p>

Synchronization Check

<p>Sync Status:

  Recently synced

   seconds ago

</p>

Data:

doc.Params["model"] = new {
    lastSync = new DateTime(2024, 3, 15, 10, 30, 3)
};

Output:

<p>Sync Status: Recently synced</p>

Notes

• Returns 0-59
• Date, hour, and minute components are ignored
• For full time formatting, use format() function
• Useful for:
  • Precise timestamp display
  • Performance timing
  • Synchronization tracking
  • High-precision time calculations
• Combine with hourOf() and minuteOf() for complete time parsing
• Use millisecondOf() for sub-second precision
• Use padLeft() for zero-padded display (e.g., “05” instead of “5”)
