Duration as timestamp in JSON output

Api call returns the below JSON object:

{
    "status": "OK",
    "distance": "482 km",
    "duration": "8 hours 46 mins"
}

Now I need this "duration" to be converted and sent as timestamp in this format - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations How to go about it?

You can use Moment.js which has support to convert the date to ISO 8601 string.

All you have to do is extract hours and minutes from the string.

let d = '8 hours 46 mins'.split(' ')
let result = moment.duration(`${d[0]}:${d[2]}`, 'H:M').toISOString()
console.log(result)
