How to show only hours and minutes from javascript date.toLocaleTimeString()?

Question

Can anyone please help me get the HH:MM am/pm format instead of HH:MM:SS am/pm.

My javascript code is :

function prettyDate2(time){   var date = new Date(parseInt(time));   var localeSpecificTime = date.toLocaleTimeString();   return localeSpecificTimel; }  

It returns the time in the format HH:MM:SS am/pm, but my client's requirement is HH:MM am/pm.

Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Here is a more general version of this question, which covers locales other than en-US. Also, there can be issues parsing the output from toLocaleTimeString(), so CJLopez suggests using this instead:

var dateWithouthSecond = new Date(); dateWithouthSecond.toLocaleTimeString(navigator.language, {hour: '2-digit', minute:'2-digit'}); 

Answer 2

A more general version from @CJLopez's answer:

function prettyDate2(time) {   var date = new Date(parseInt(time));   return date.toLocaleTimeString(navigator.language, {     hour: '2-digit',     minute:'2-digit'   }); } 

Original answer (not useful internationally)

You can do this:

function prettyDate2(time){     var date = new Date(parseInt(time));     var localeSpecificTime = date.toLocaleTimeString();     return localeSpecificTime.replace(/:\d+ /, ' '); } 

The regex is stripping the seconds from that string.
