Convert time string ("hours:minute") to date object

Question

Here is time string with hours and minutes (e.g. "03:37"). I want to update date object that time and create date object in ember JS. Help me with this. The time goes by 24 hours.

Answer 1

You could simply do the following:

const time = "03:37";
const [ h, m ] = time.split(":");
const ms = new Date().setHours(h,m);
const date = new Date(ms)

Answer 2

Use the substring() function to extract the hours and minutes. Then use the setHours() function to assign them to any date object.

const today = new Date();

const timeString = "03:37";

// Use the substring() function to extract hours and minutes
const hours = timeString.substring(0,2);
const minutes = timeString.substring(3,5);

// Use the setHours() function to assign hours and minutes
// to the "today" date object
const modifiedDate = new Date(today.setHours(hours, minutes));

console.log(modifiedDate);
