How to convert milliseconds into a readable date Minutes:Seconds Format?

In JavaScript I have a variable Time in milliseconds.

I would like to know if there is any build-in function to convert efficiently this value to Minutes:Seconds format.

If not could you please point me out a utility function.

Example:

FROM

462000 milliseconds

TO

7:42

You may like pretty-ms npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/pretty-ms
If that what you are searching. Headless nice formatting (time in the units that are needed as ms grow), personalisable, and cover different situations. Small and efficient for what it cover.

In case you already using Moment.js in your project, you can use the moment.duration function

You can use it like this

var mm = moment.duration(37250000);
console.log(mm.hours() + ':' + mm.minutes() + ':' + mm.seconds());

output: 10:20:50

See jsbin sample

Thanks guys for your support, at th end I came up with this solution. I hope it can helps others.

Use:

var videoDuration = convertMillisecondsToDigitalClock(18050200).clock; // CONVERT DATE TO DIGITAL FORMAT

// CONVERT MILLISECONDS TO DIGITAL CLOCK FORMAT
function convertMillisecondsToDigitalClock(ms) {
    hours = Math.floor(ms / 3600000), // 1 Hour = 36000 Milliseconds
    minutes = Math.floor((ms % 3600000) / 60000), // 1 Minutes = 60000 Milliseconds
    seconds = Math.floor(((ms % 360000) % 60000) / 1000) // 1 Second = 1000 Milliseconds
        return {
        hours : hours,
        minutes : minutes,
        seconds : seconds,
        clock : hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds
    };
}

Just create a Date object and pass the milliseconds as a parameter.

var date = new Date(milliseconds);
var h = date.getHours();
var m = date.getMinutes();
var s = date.getSeconds();
alert(((h * 60) + m) + ":" + s);

It's easy to make the conversion oneself:

var t = 462000
parseInt(t / 1000 / 60) + ":" + (t / 1000 % 60)

function msToMS(ms) {
    var M = Math.floor(ms / 60000);
    ms -= M * 60000;
    var S = ms / 1000;
    return M + ":" + S;
}
