Get Uptime of Discord.JS bot

Question

I am right now making a Discord bot command for runtime, I was wondering what the most compacted (and still correct) way of doing an runtime to catch how long the bot has actually been online and return it in 24hr format.

Answer 1

Much better solution

const moment = require("moment");
require("moment-duration-format");
const duration = moment.duration(client.uptime).format(" D [days], H [hrs], m [mins], s [secs]");

console.log(duration);

//Output = 1 hr, 16 mins, 8 secs

Answer 2

Here's a very simple solution that returns a human-readable string. It uses the pretty-ms module.

const prettyMilliseconds = require("pretty-ms");
message.channel.send(`Uptime: ${prettyMilliseconds(client.uptime)}`)
// 15d 11h 23m 20s

Answer 3

You could use

var startingTime = Date.now();

at the start of your code and when you want to use it, use

var uptime = startingTime - Date.now();

Then use the accepted code, but use uptime instead of client.uptime. This is for non-discord.js.
