secondOf() : Extract Second from DateTime

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

On this page

Signature

secondOf(datetime)

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Description
datetime DateTime Yes The datetime to extract the second from

Returns

Type: Number (Integer)

The second as a number from 0 to 59.

Examples

Display Second

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

Data:

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

Output:

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

Timestamp Validation

{{#each model.events}}
  <p>{{format(this.timestamp, 'h:mm:ss tt')}}
  {{#if (secondOf(this.timestamp) == 0)}}
    (Rounded)
  {{/if}}
  </p>
{{/each}}

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: {{format(model.startTime, 'h:mm:ss')}}</p>
<p>End: {{format(model.endTime, 'h:mm:ss')}}</p>
<p>Seconds: {{secondOf(model.endTime) - secondOf(model.startTime)}}</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:
{{#if (secondOf(model.lastSync) < 5)}}
  Recently synced
{{else}}
  {{secondOf(model.lastSync)}} seconds ago
{{/if}}
</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”)
