How to format $.now() with Jquery

Question

$.now() gives me the time as miliseconds. I need to show it something like hh:mm:ss

How can I do that in Jquery?

Answer 1

I'd suggest just using the Javascript Date object for this purpose.

    var d = new Date();
    var time = d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes() + ":" + d.getSeconds();

Edit: I just came across the method below, which covers formatting issues such as the one mike-samuel mentioned and is cleaner:

    var time = d.toLocaleTimeString();

Answer 2

function formatTimeOfDay(millisSinceEpoch) {
  var secondsSinceEpoch = (millisSinceEpoch / 1000) | 0;
  var secondsInDay = ((secondsSinceEpoch % 86400) + 86400) % 86400;
  var seconds = secondsInDay % 60;
  var minutes = ((secondsInDay / 60) | 0) % 60;
  var hours = (secondsInDay / 3600) | 0;
  return hours + (minutes < 10 ? ":0" : ":")
      + minutes + (seconds < 10 ? ":0" : ":")
      + seconds;
}
