[help] Formatting duration.

[BMitrovic17]

Is there a way to discard portion of the duration while formatting ?

To explain better:
All the duration information is presented via API always in seconds.

var dayjs = require("dayjs");
var duration = require("dayjs/plugin/duration");
dayjs.extend(duration)

let durOne = '183';
let durTwo = '8';

console.log(dayjs.duration(durOne, 'seconds').format('m [Min] s [secs]'));
// "3 Min 3 secs"
console.log(dayjs.duration(durTwo, 'seconds').format('m [Min] s [secs]'));
// "0 Min 8 secs"

How can i format it in a way that it would discard m [Min] in second instance?
To elaborate, I want to dynamically show proper duration, regardless of what API sends.

I know i can break it down to objects and threat each and every one of it separately and then combine but was wondering if there's a built in method like we have for escaping characters.
Something like .format('?(m [Min]) s [secs]') where question mark would serve as a checker.

Thanks in advance and sorry if it's a silly question, but it's an only way to learn :D

@BMitrovic17 @iamkun ,

Did you find a solution for this?

We are struggling with it as well.

For example we want to display PT11856H8M34S as years, days, hours, minutes & seconds. Leaving out the months.

dayjs.duration('PT11856H8M34S').add(0,'s').format('Y[y] D[d] H[h] m[m]')
Output: 1y 9d 0h 8m

dayjs.duration('PT11856H8M34S').add(0,'s').format('Y[y] M[m] D[d] H[h] m[m]')
Output: 1y 4m 9d 0h 8m

You can clearly see that we lose 4 months of days... How can we prevent this? It should output something like 1y 129d 0h 8m
