Let’s suppose I have a number which represents the minutes passed from the start time to now.
I wan to create a function which returns the years, months, week and days corresponding to the minutes I am passing to that function.
Here an example:
var minutes = 635052; // 635052 = (24*60)*365 + (24*60)*30*2 + (24*60)*14 + (24*60)*2 + 12;
getDataHR(minutes); // 1 year, 2 months, 2 week, 2 days, 12 minutes
function getDataHR (newMinutes) {
minutes = newMinutes;
.......
return hrData; // 1 year, 2 months, 2 week, 2 days, 12 minutes
}
What is the best way to achieve the result?

Maybe like this?
var units = {
"year": 24*60*365,
"month": 24*60*30,
"week": 24*60*7,
"day": 24*60,
"minute": 1
}
var result = []
for(var name in units) {
var p = Math.floor(value/units[name]);
if(p == 1) result.push(p + " " + name);
if(p >= 2) result.push(p + " " + name + "s");
value %= units[name]
}
