使用moment.js库:

function humanizeDuration(input, units ) { 
  // units is a string with possible values of y, M, w, d, h, m, s, ms
  var duration = moment().startOf('day').add(units, input),
    format = "";

  if(duration.hour() > 0){ format += "H [hours] "; }

  if(duration.minute() > 0){ format += "m [minutes] "; }

  format += " s [seconds]";

  return duration.format(format);
}

这允许您指定任何持续时间，无论是小时、分钟、秒、磨，并返回人类可读的版本。

我推荐使用普通的javascript，使用Date对象。(要获得更简短的解决方案，请使用toTimeString，请参阅第二个代码片段。)

var seconds = 9999;
// multiply by 1000 because Date() requires miliseconds
var date = new Date(seconds * 1000);
var hh = date.getUTCHours();
var mm = date.getUTCMinutes();
var ss = date.getSeconds();
// If you were building a timestamp instead of a duration, you would uncomment the following line to get 12-hour (not 24) time
// if (hh > 12) {hh = hh % 12;}
// These lines ensure you have two-digits
if (hh < 10) {hh = "0"+hh;}
if (mm < 10) {mm = "0"+mm;}
if (ss < 10) {ss = "0"+ss;}
// This formats your string to HH:MM:SS
var t = hh+":"+mm+":"+ss;
document.write(t);

(当然，创建的Date对象将有一个与之关联的实际日期，但该数据是无关的，因此出于这些目的，您不必担心它。)

编辑(简短的解决方案):

使用toTimeString函数并对空白进行分割:

var seconds = 9999; // Some arbitrary value
var date = new Date(seconds * 1000); // multiply by 1000 because Date() requires miliseconds
var timeStr = date.toTimeString().split(' ')[0];

toTimeString给出'16:54:58 GMT-0800 (PST)'，对第一个空格进行分割给出'16:54:58'。

我喜欢Powtac的答案，但我想在angular.js中使用它，所以我用他的代码创建了一个过滤器。

.filter('HHMMSS', ['$filter', function ($filter) {
    return function (input, decimals) {
        var sec_num = parseInt(input, 10),
            decimal = parseFloat(input) - sec_num,
            hours   = Math.floor(sec_num / 3600),
            minutes = Math.floor((sec_num - (hours * 3600)) / 60),
            seconds = sec_num - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);

        if (hours   < 10) {hours   = "0"+hours;}
        if (minutes < 10) {minutes = "0"+minutes;}
        if (seconds < 10) {seconds = "0"+seconds;}
        var time    = hours+':'+minutes+':'+seconds;
        if (decimals > 0) {
            time += '.' + $filter('number')(decimal, decimals).substr(2);
        }
        return time;
    };
}])

它在功能上是相同的，除了我添加了一个可选的小数字段来显示小数秒。像使用其他过滤器一样使用它:

{{elapsedTime | HHMMSS}}显示:01:23:45

{{elapsedTime | HHMMSS: 3}}显示:01:23:45.678

下面是它的es6版本:

export const parseTime = (time) => { // send time in seconds
// eslint-disable-next-line 
let hours = parseInt(time / 60 / 60), mins = Math.abs(parseInt(time / 60) - (hours * 60)), seconds = Math.round(time % 60);
return isNaN(hours) || isNaN(mins) || isNaN(seconds) ? `00:00:00` : `${hours > 9 ? Math.max(hours, 0) : '0' + Math.max(hours, 0)}:${mins > 9 ? Math.max(mins, 0) : '0' + Math.max(0, mins)}:${seconds > 9 ? Math.max(0, seconds) : '0' + Math.max(0, seconds)}`;}

如果你是在处理视频长度，这个版本的公认答案会让它看起来更漂亮:

1:37:40(1小时/ 37分钟/ 40秒)

1:00(1分钟)

2:20(2分20秒)

String.prototype.toHHMMSS = function () {
  var sec_num = parseInt(this, 10); // don't forget the second param
  var hours   = Math.floor(sec_num / 3600);
  var minutes = Math.floor((sec_num - (hours * 3600)) / 60);
  var seconds = sec_num - (hours * 3600) - (minutes * 60);

  var hourSeparator = ':';
  var minuteSeparator = ':';

  if(hours == 0){hours = '';hourSeparator = '';}
  if (minutes < 10 && hours != 0) {minutes = "0"+minutes;}
  if (seconds < 10) {seconds = "0"+seconds;}
  var time = hours+hourSeparator+minutes+minuteSeparator+seconds;
  return time;
}

我最喜欢Webjins的答案，所以我扩展了它以显示d后缀的日子，使显示有条件，并包括一个s后缀的普通秒:

function sec2str(t){
    var d = Math.floor(t/86400),
        h = ('0'+Math.floor(t/3600) % 24).slice(-2),
        m = ('0'+Math.floor(t/60)%60).slice(-2),
        s = ('0' + t % 60).slice(-2);
    return (d>0?d+'d ':'')+(h>0?h+':':'')+(m>0?m+':':'')+(t>60?s:s+'s');
}

返回"3d 16:32:12"或"16:32:12"或"32:12"或"12s"
