Temporal.PlainTime.prototype.second

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The second accessor property of Temporal.PlainTime instances returns a integer from 0 to 59 representing the second component of this time.

The set accessor of second is undefined. You cannot change this property directly. Use the with() method to create a new Temporal.PlainTime object with the desired new value.

Examples

Using second

js
const time = Temporal.PlainTime.from("12:34:56");
console.log(time.second); // 56

Changing second

js
const time = Temporal.PlainTime.from("12:34:56");
const newTime = time.with({ second: 15 });
console.log(newTime.toString()); // 12:34:15

You can also use add() or subtract() to move a certain number of seconds from the current time.

js
const time = Temporal.PlainTime.from("12:34:56");
const newTime = time.subtract({ seconds: 41 });
console.log(newTime.toString()); // 12:34:15
