How do I make a number 2 digits

[japer]

I am doing a countdown timer and I would like it in the format mm:ss. I have the code written to do the countdown and pull out a minute and second variable. The problem is when I use Text in QML and put my variable in for text: when it gets below 10 I get a single digit number. Is there anyway to get 01 instead of 1?

Hi,

A quick and simple way:

function padValue(value) {
    if (value < 10) {
        value = "0" + i;
    }
    return value;
}

Hope it helps

Hi
QML noob here but i was wondering if you can just write a JS function for it ?

function pad(n) {
    return (n < 10) ? ("0" + n) : n;
}

hehe. a second too late. Yep it seems you can :)

Thanks everyone I ended up doing an ugly hack I am not proud of. I put another Text element that displays "0" and its only visible when my minute number is less than 10.

Well don't! Change it so it's like @SGaist's or @mrjj's reply, it'll only take a second!
