parseTime

Parse a string into its constituent time parts

Returns an object containing the hour, minute, second, millisecond and optional timezone values.

Accepts input of the form H:MM[:SS[:.mmm:[+TZ]]] where H is hours, MM is minutes, SS is seconds, mmm is milliseconds and +TZ is the timezone (eg. +10:00).

Seconds & milliseconds are optional and will default to 0 if not in the string, timezone is optional and will be left as undefined if not specified.

NOTE: If you pass a Date object then the timezone offset will always be whatever the local browser/env timezone is (ie. it's not possible to have a javascript Date object in another timezone).

parseTime("3:55")
// { hour: 3, minute: 55, seconds: 0, milliseconds: 0 }
parseTime("03:55:20")
// { hour: 3, minute: 55, seconds: 20, milliseconds: 0 }
parseTime("03:55:20.600")
// { hour: 3, minute: 55, seconds: 20, milliseconds: 600 }
parseTime("03:55:20.600+10:00")
// { hour: 3, minute: 55, seconds: 20, milliseconds: 600, timezoneOffset: -600 }
