How do you display JavaScript datetime in 12 hour AM/PM format?

Question

How do you display a JavaScript datetime object in the 12 hour format (AM/PM)?

Answer 1

function formatAMPM(date) {   var hours = date.getHours();   var minutes = date.getMinutes();   var ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am';   hours = hours % 12;   hours = hours ? hours : 12; // the hour '0' should be '12'   minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0'+minutes : minutes;   var strTime = hours + ':' + minutes + ' ' + ampm;   return strTime; }  console.log(formatAMPM(new Date));

Answer 2

If you just want to show the hours then..

var time = new Date();  console.log(    time.toLocaleString('en-US', { hour: 'numeric', hour12: true })  );  

Output : 7 AM

If you wish to show the minutes as well then...

var time = new Date();  console.log(    time.toLocaleString('en-US', { hour: 'numeric', minute: 'numeric', hour12: true })  );

Output : 7:23 AM
