I'm trying to convert something like this 2020-10-01T17:00:00.000Z to the correct time something like 06:00:00 PM. Pls see my code below:
const date = "2020-10-01T17:00:00.000Z";
const output = new Date(date).toLocaleTimeString('en-US');
console.log(output);
If you specifically need the time to be in UTC (instead of the local user's timezone), then I think you would need to build your own formatter function to do it, e.g.:
function formatDate(str, includeDate){
const date = new Date(str);
const hours = date.getUTCHours();
let twoDigits = (no) => {
const str = no.toString();
return (str.length === 1 ? '0' + str : str);
};
let strdate = (includeDate ? twoDigits(date.getUTCMonth() + 1) + '/' + twoDigits(date.getUTCDate()) + '/' + twoDigits(date.getUTCFullYear()) + ' ' : '');
if(12 <= hours) {
return strdate + twoDigits(hours === 12 ? 12 : hours - 12) + ':' + twoDigits(date.getUTCMinutes()) + ':' + twoDigits(date.getUTCSeconds()) + ' PM';
} else {
return strdate + twoDigits(hours) + ':' + twoDigits(date.getUTCMinutes()) + ':' + twoDigits(date.getUTCSeconds()) + ' AM';
};
};
console.log(formatDate("2020-10-01T17:00:00.000Z", true));
Here, you are constructing the time string from individual UTC segments. You could alternatively parse the input string using a regex, get the number of hours and then build the string that way.
Edit: updated to optionally also include the date, in US format mm/dd/yyyy.
I am storing time in a MySQL database as a Unix timestamp and that gets sent to some JavaScript code. How would I get just the time out of it?
For example, in HH/MM/SS format.
let unix_timestamp = 1549312452
// Create a new JavaScript Date object based on the timestamp
// multiplied by 1000 so that the argument is in milliseconds, not seconds.
var date = new Date(unix_timestamp * 1000);
// Hours part from the timestamp
var hours = date.getHours();
// Minutes part from the timestamp
var minutes = "0" + date.getMinutes();
// Seconds part from the timestamp
var seconds = "0" + date.getSeconds();
// Will display time in 10:30:23 format
var formattedTime = hours + ':' + minutes.substr(-2) + ':' + seconds.substr(-2);
console.log(formattedTime);
For more information regarding the Date object, please refer to MDN or the ECMAScript 5 specification.
function timeConverter(UNIX_timestamp){
var a = new Date(UNIX_timestamp * 1000);
var months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'];
var year = a.getFullYear();
var month = months[a.getMonth()];
var date = a.getDate();
var hour = a.getHours();
var min = a.getMinutes();
var sec = a.getSeconds();
var time = date + ' ' + month + ' ' + year + ' ' + hour + ':' + min + ':' + sec ;
return time;
}
console.log(timeConverter(0));
JavaScript works in milliseconds, so you'll first have to convert the UNIX timestamp from seconds to milliseconds.
var date = new Date(UNIX_Timestamp * 1000);
// Manipulate JavaScript Date object here...
Use:
var s = new Date(1504095567183).toLocaleDateString("en-US")
console.log(s)
// expected output "8/30/2017"
and for time:
var s = new Date(1504095567183).toLocaleTimeString("en-US")
console.log(s)
// expected output "3:19:27 PM"
see Date.prototype.toLocaleDateString()
Modern Solution (for 2020)
In the new world, we should be moving towards the standard Intl JavaScript object, that has a handy DateTimeFormat constructor with .format() method:
function format_time(s) {
const dtFormat = new Intl.DateTimeFormat('en-GB', {
timeStyle: 'medium',
timeZone: 'UTC'
});
return dtFormat.format(new Date(s * 1e3));
}
console.log( format_time(12345) ); // "03:25:45"
Eternal Solution
But to be 100% compatible with all legacy JavaScript engines, here is the shortest one-liner solution to format seconds as hh:mm:ss:
function format_time(s) {
return new Date(s * 1e3).toISOString().slice(-13, -5);
}
console.log( format_time(12345) ); // "03:25:45"
Method Date.prototype.toISOString() returns time in
simplified extended ISO 8601 format, which is always 24 or 27 characters long (i.e. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ or
±YYYYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ respectively). The timezone is always
zero UTC offset.
This solution does not require any third-party libraries and is supported in all browsers and JavaScript engines.
I'm partial to Jacob Wright's Date.format() library, which implements JavaScript date formatting in the style of PHP's date() function.
new Date(unix_timestamp * 1000).format('h:i:s')
I'd think about using a library like momentjs.com, that makes this really simple:
Based on a Unix timestamp:
var timestamp = moment.unix(1293683278);
console.log( timestamp.format("HH/mm/ss") );
Based on a MySQL date string:
var now = moment("2010-10-10 12:03:15");
console.log( now.format("HH/mm/ss") );
shortest one-liner solution to format seconds as hh:mm:ss: variant:
console.log(new Date(1549312452 * 1000).toISOString().slice(0, 19).replace('T', ' '));
// "2019-02-04 20:34:12"
In moment you must use unix timestamp:
const dateTimeString = moment.unix(1466760005).format("DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm:ss");
This works with PHP timestamps
var d = 1541415288860;
//var d =val.timestamp;
//NB: use + before variable name
var date = new Date(+d);
console.log(d);
console.log(date.toDateString());
console.log(date.getFullYear());
console.log(date.getMinutes());
console.log(date.getSeconds());
console.log(date.getHours());
console.log(date.toLocaleTimeString());
var d =val.timestamp;
var date=new Date(+d); //NB: use + before variable name
console.log(d);
console.log(date.toDateString());
console.log(date.getFullYear());
console.log(date.getMinutes());
console.log(date.getSeconds());
console.log(date.getHours());
console.log(date.toLocaleTimeString());
the methods above will generate this results

There's a bunch of methods that work perfectly with timestamps. Cant list them all
UNIX timestamp is number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970 (according to Wikipedia).
Argument of Date object in Javascript is number of miliseconds since 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970 (according to W3Schools Javascript documentation).
See code below for example:
function tm(unix_tm) {
var dt = new Date(unix_tm*1000);
document.writeln(dt.getHours() + '/' + dt.getMinutes() + '/' + dt.getSeconds() + ' -- ' + dt + '<br>');
}
tm(60);
tm(86400);
gives:
1/1/0 -- Thu Jan 01 1970 01:01:00 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)
1/0/0 -- Fri Jan 02 1970 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time)
Using Moment.js, you can get time and date like this:
var dateTimeString = moment(1439198499).format("DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm:ss");
And you can get only time using this:
var timeString = moment(1439198499).format("HH:mm:ss");
The problem with the aforementioned solutions is, that if hour, minute or second, has only one digit (i.e. 0-9), the time would be wrong, e.g. it could be 2:3:9, but it should rather be 02:03:09.
According to this page it seems to be a better solution to use Date's "toLocaleTimeString" method.
Another way - from an ISO 8601 date.
var timestamp = 1293683278;
var date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
var iso = date.toISOString().match(/(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})/)
alert(iso[1]);
Based on #shomrat's answer, here is a snippet that automatically writes datetime like this (a bit similar to StackOverflow's date for answers: answered Nov 6 '16 at 11:51):
today, 11:23
or
yersterday, 11:23
or (if different but same year than today)
6 Nov, 11:23
or (if another year than today)

function timeConverter(t) {
var a = new Date(t * 1000);
var today = new Date();
var yesterday = new Date(Date.now() - 86400000);
var months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
var year = a.getFullYear();
var month = months[a.getMonth()];
var date = a.getDate();
var hour = a.getHours();
var min = a.getMinutes();
if (a.setHours(0,0,0,0) == today.setHours(0,0,0,0))
return 'today, ' + hour + ':' + min;
else if (a.setHours(0,0,0,0) == yesterday.setHours(0,0,0,0))
return 'yesterday, ' + hour + ':' + min;
else if (year == today.getFullYear())
return date + ' ' + month + ', ' + hour + ':' + min;
else
return date + ' ' + month + ' ' + year + ', ' + hour + ':' + min;
}
function getTIMESTAMP() {
var date = new Date();
var year = date.getFullYear();
var month = ("0" + (date.getMonth() + 1)).substr(-2);
var day = ("0" + date.getDate()).substr(-2);
var hour = ("0" + date.getHours()).substr(-2);
var minutes = ("0" + date.getMinutes()).substr(-2);
var seconds = ("0" + date.getSeconds()).substr(-2);
return year + "-" + month + "-" + day + " " + hour + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
}
//2016-01-14 02:40:01
The modern solution that doesn't need a 40 KB library:
Intl.DateTimeFormat is the non-culturally imperialistic way to format a date/time.
// Setup once
var options = {
//weekday: 'long',
//month: 'short',
//year: 'numeric',
//day: 'numeric',
hour: 'numeric',
minute: 'numeric',
second: 'numeric'
},
intlDate = new Intl.DateTimeFormat( undefined, options );
// Reusable formatter
var timeStamp = 1412743273;
console.log( intlDate.format( new Date( 1000 * timeStamp ) ) );
Pay attention to the zero problem with some of the answers. For example, the timestamp 1439329773 would be mistakenly converted to 12/08/2015 0:49.
I would suggest on using the following to overcome this issue:
var timestamp = 1439329773; // replace your timestamp
var date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);
var formattedDate = ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2) + '/' + ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + '/' + date.getFullYear() + ' ' + ('0' + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + ':' + ('0' + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
console.log(formattedDate);
Now results in:
12/08/2015 00:49
There are multiple ways to convert unix timestamp to time (HH/MM/SS)
Using new Date() - this is in-built in javascript
moment package - this is a famous node module, but this is going to deprecate.
dayjs package - this is one of the latest and fast growing node module
Using new Date()
const dateTimeStr = new Date(1504052527183).toLocaleString()
const result = (dateTimeStr.split(", ")[1]).split(":").join("/")
console.log(result)
Using moment
const moment = require('moment')
const timestampObj = moment.unix(1504052527183);
const result = timestampObj.format("HH/mm/ss")
console.log(result);
Using day.js
const dayjs = require('dayjs')
const result = dayjs(1504052527183).format("HH/mm/ss")
console.log(result);
you can check the timestamp to time conversion with an online time conversion tool
// Format value as two digits 0 => 00, 1 => 01
function twoDigits(value) {
if(value < 10) {
return '0' + value;
}
return value;
}
var date = new Date(unix_timestamp*1000);
// display in format HH:MM:SS
var formattedTime = twoDigits(date.getHours())
+ ':' + twoDigits(date.getMinutes())
+ ':' + twoDigits(date.getSeconds());
function getDateTimeFromTimestamp(unixTimeStamp) {
let date = new Date(unixTimeStamp);
return ('0' + date.getDate()).slice(-2) + '/' + ('0' + (date.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) + '/' + date.getFullYear() + ' ' + ('0' + date.getHours()).slice(-2) + ':' + ('0' + date.getMinutes()).slice(-2);
}
const myTime = getDateTimeFromTimestamp(1435986900000);
console.log(myTime); // output 01/05/2000 11:00
You can use the following function to convert your timestamp to HH:MM:SS format :
var convertTime = function(timestamp, separator) {
var pad = function(input) {return input < 10 ? "0" + input : input;};
var date = timestamp ? new Date(timestamp * 1000) : new Date();
return [
pad(date.getHours()),
pad(date.getMinutes()),
pad(date.getSeconds())
].join(typeof separator !== 'undefined' ? separator : ':' );
}
Without passing a separator, it uses : as the (default) separator :
time = convertTime(1061351153); // --> OUTPUT = 05:45:53
If you want to use / as a separator, just pass it as the second parameter:
time = convertTime(920535115, '/'); // --> OUTPUT = 09/11/55
Demo
var convertTime = function(timestamp, separator) {
var pad = function(input) {return input < 10 ? "0" + input : input;};
var date = timestamp ? new Date(timestamp * 1000) : new Date();
return [
pad(date.getHours()),
pad(date.getMinutes()),
pad(date.getSeconds())
].join(typeof separator !== 'undefined' ? separator : ':' );
}
document.body.innerHTML = '<pre>' + JSON.stringify({
920535115 : convertTime(920535115, '/'),
1061351153 : convertTime(1061351153, ':'),
1435651350 : convertTime(1435651350, '-'),
1487938926 : convertTime(1487938926),
1555135551 : convertTime(1555135551, '.')
}, null, '\t') + '</pre>';

If you want to convert Unix time duration to real hours, minutes, and seconds, you could use the following code:
var hours = Math.floor(timestamp / 60 / 60);
var minutes = Math.floor((timestamp - hours * 60 * 60) / 60);
var seconds = Math.floor(timestamp - hours * 60 * 60 - minutes * 60 );
var duration = hours + ':' + minutes + ':' + seconds;
Code below also provides 3-digit millisecs, ideal for console log prefixes:
const timeStrGet = date => {
const milliSecsStr = date.getMilliseconds().toString().padStart(3, '0') ;
return `${date.toLocaleTimeString('it-US')}.${milliSecsStr}`;
};
setInterval(() => console.log(timeStrGet(new Date())), 299);
I have trouble using date in Javascript, in PHP you use something like date("Y-m-d H:i s") to retrieve the specific date and time, how can I achieve this in Javascript? the getMonth() method only returns 1 digit, I really need them to be in 2 digits
Since I made comments on almost all answers, I'd better post my suggestion
DEMO
function pad(num) { return ("0"+num).slice(-2); }
function getDisplayDate() {
var date = new Date();
return date.getFullYear()+
"-"+pad(date.getMonth()+1)+
"-"+pad(date.getDate())+
" "+pad(date.getHours())+
":"+pad(date.getMinutes())+
":"+pad(date.getSeconds());
}
setInterval(function() {
document.getElementById("time").innerHTML=getDisplayDate();
},500);
why dont you add 0 before when you get <10
Try this :
function dateToYMD(date) {
var d = date.getDate();
var m = date.getMonth() + 1;
var y = date.getFullYear();
return '' + y + '-' + (m<=9 ? '0' + m : m) + '-' + (d <= 9 ? '0' + d : d) + ' ' + date.getHours() + ':' + date.getMinutes() + ':' + date.getSeconds();
}
var d = new Date();
alert(dateToYMD(d));
This code is adjusted based on the pointers given by #mplungjan -- (credits to him please)
Also check out his solution, which is a better one for use with date digits.
var str = 10; // month-digit from getMonth()
function pad(val) {
return "0" + val;
}
var month = str < 10 ? pad(str) : str;
console.log(month);
you can year, minutes, etc from Date class. You can get 2 digits month using some trick like example below. e.g
Date.prototype.getLongMonth = function() {
var month = this.getMonth();
if (String(month).length == 1) month = '0'.concat(month);
return month;
}
var now = new Date();
var theDate = now.getFullYear() + '-' + now.getLongMonth() + '-' + now.getDate() + ' ' + now.getHours() + ':' + now.getMinutes() + ':' + now.getSeconds();
console.log(theDate); // result : 2013-02-17 12:41:2
I have a script that prints the current date and time in JavaScript, but the DATE is always wrong. Here is the code:
var currentdate = new Date();
var datetime = "Last Sync: " + currentdate.getDay() + "/" + currentdate.getMonth()
+ "/" + currentdate.getFullYear() + " # "
+ currentdate.getHours() + ":"
+ currentdate.getMinutes() + ":" + currentdate.getSeconds();
It should print 18/04/2012 15:07:33 and prints 3/3/2012 15:07:33
.getMonth() returns a zero-based number so to get the correct month you need to add 1, so calling .getMonth() in may will return 4 and not 5.
So in your code we can use currentdate.getMonth()+1 to output the correct value. In addition:
.getDate() returns the day of the month <- this is the one you want
.getDay() is a separate method of the Date object which will return an integer representing the current day of the week (0-6) 0 == Sunday etc
so your code should look like this:
var currentdate = new Date();
var datetime = "Last Sync: " + currentdate.getDate() + "/"
+ (currentdate.getMonth()+1) + "/"
+ currentdate.getFullYear() + " # "
+ currentdate.getHours() + ":"
+ currentdate.getMinutes() + ":"
+ currentdate.getSeconds();
JavaScript Date instances inherit from Date.prototype. You can modify the constructor's prototype object to affect properties and methods inherited by JavaScript Date instances
You can make use of the Date prototype object to create a new method which will return today's date and time. These new methods or properties will be inherited by all instances of the Date object thus making it especially useful if you need to re-use this functionality.
// For todays date;
Date.prototype.today = function () {
return ((this.getDate() < 10)?"0":"") + this.getDate() +"/"+(((this.getMonth()+1) < 10)?"0":"") + (this.getMonth()+1) +"/"+ this.getFullYear();
}
// For the time now
Date.prototype.timeNow = function () {
return ((this.getHours() < 10)?"0":"") + this.getHours() +":"+ ((this.getMinutes() < 10)?"0":"") + this.getMinutes() +":"+ ((this.getSeconds() < 10)?"0":"") + this.getSeconds();
}
You can then simply retrieve the date and time by doing the following:
var newDate = new Date();
var datetime = "LastSync: " + newDate.today() + " # " + newDate.timeNow();
Or call the method inline so it would simply be -
var datetime = "LastSync: " + new Date().today() + " # " + new Date().timeNow();
To get time and date you should use
new Date().toLocaleString();
>> "09/08/2014, 2:35:56 AM"
To get only the date you should use
new Date().toLocaleDateString();
>> "09/08/2014"
To get only the time you should use
new Date().toLocaleTimeString();
>> "2:35:56 AM"
Or if you just want the time in the format hh:mm without AM/PM for US English
new Date().toLocaleTimeString('en-US', { hour12: false,
hour: "numeric",
minute: "numeric"});
>> "02:35"
or for British English
new Date().toLocaleTimeString('en-GB', { hour: "numeric",
minute: "numeric"});
>> "02:35"

I develop Steve answer to get exactly what OP need
new Date().toLocaleString().replace(',','')
console.log(new Date().toLocaleString().replace(',',''));
var currentdate = new Date();
var datetime = "Last Sync: " + currentdate.getDate() + "/"+(currentdate.getMonth()+1)
+ "/" + currentdate.getFullYear() + " # "
+ currentdate.getHours() + ":"
+ currentdate.getMinutes() + ":" + currentdate.getSeconds();
Change .getDay() method to .GetDate() and add one to month, because it counts months from 0.
This should do the trick:
function dateToString(date) {
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
var day = date.getDate();
var dateOfString = (("" + day).length < 2 ? "0" : "") + day + "/";
dateOfString += (("" + month).length < 2 ? "0" : "") + month + "/";
dateOfString += date.getFullYear();
return dateOfString;
}
var currentdate = new Date();
var datetime = "Last Sync: ";
datetime += dateToString(currentdate );
datetime += + currentdate.getHours() + ":"
+ currentdate.getMinutes() + ":"
+ currentdate.getSeconds();
Basic JS (good to learn): we use the Date() function and do all that we need to show the date and day in our custom format.
var myDate = new Date();
let daysList = ['Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday'];
let monthsList = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Aug', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
let date = myDate.getDate();
let month = monthsList[myDate.getMonth()];
let year = myDate.getFullYear();
let day = daysList[myDate.getDay()];
let today = `${date} ${month} ${year}, ${day}`;
let amOrPm;
let twelveHours = function (){
if(myDate.getHours() > 12)
{
amOrPm = 'PM';
let twentyFourHourTime = myDate.getHours();
let conversion = twentyFourHourTime - 12;
return `${conversion}`
}else {
amOrPm = 'AM';
return `${myDate.getHours()}`}
};
let hours = twelveHours();
let minutes = myDate.getMinutes();
let currentTime = `${hours}:${minutes} ${amOrPm}`;
console.log(today + ' ' + currentTime);
Node JS (quick & easy): Install the npm pagckage using (npm install date-and-time), then run the below.
let nodeDate = require('date-and-time');
let now = nodeDate.format(new Date(), 'DD-MMMM-YYYY, hh:mm:ss a');
console.log(now);
Short and simple:-
console.log(new Date().toLocaleString());

getDay() gets the day of the week. 3 is Wednesday. You want getDate(), that will return 18.
Also getMonth() starts at 0, you need to add 1 to get 4 (April).
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/4zVxp/
You need to use getDate() to get the date part. The getDay() function returns the day number (Sunday = 0, Monday = 1...), and the getMonth() returns a 0 based index, so you need to increment it by 1.
var currentdate = new Date();
var datetime = "Last Sync: " + currentdate.getDate() + "/"+ (parseInt(currentdate.getMonth()) + 1)
+ "/" + currentdate.getFullYear() + " # "
+ currentdate.getHours() + ":"
+ currentdate.getMinutes() + ":" + currentdate.getSeconds();
const date = new Date()
console.log(date.toLocaleTimeString("en-us", {timeStyle: "medium"})) // Only Time
console.log(date.toLocaleString()) // For both Date and Time
For Documentation
function getTimeStamp() {
var now = new Date();
return ((now.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + (now.getDate()) + '/' + now.getFullYear() + " " + now.getHours() + ':'
+ ((now.getMinutes() < 10) ? ("0" + now.getMinutes()) : (now.getMinutes())) + ':' + ((now.getSeconds() < 10) ? ("0" + now
.getSeconds()) : (now.getSeconds())));
}
get current date and time
var now = new Date();
var datetime = now.getFullYear()+'/'+(now.getMonth()+1)+'/'+now.getDate();
datetime += ' '+now.getHours()+':'+now.getMinutes()+':'+now.getSeconds();
This question is quite old and the answers are too. Instead of those monstrous functions, we now can use moment.js to get the current date, which actually makes it very easy. All that has to be done is including moment.js in our project and get a well formated date, for example, by:
moment().format("dddd, MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a");
I think that makes it way easier to handle dates in javascript.
.getDay returns day of week. You need .getDate instead.
.getMonth returns values from 0 to 11. You'll need to add 1 to the result to get "human" month number.
This little code is easy and works everywhere.

there is room to design
function UniqueDateTime(format='',language='en-US'){
//returns a meaningful unique number based on current time, and milliseconds, making it virtually unique
//e.g : 20170428-115833-547
//allows personal formatting like more usual :YYYYMMDDHHmmSS, or YYYYMMDD_HH:mm:SS
var dt = new Date();
var modele="YYYYMMDD-HHmmSS-mss";
if (format!==''){
modele=format;
}

I needed to figure this out for a slate in after effects. Here's what I came up with after taking elements from a few different sources -- Formatting is MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM
D = new Date(Date(00));
M = D.getMonth()+1;
H = D.getHours();
Mi = D.getMinutes();
N = "AM"
if (H >= 12)
N = "PM"
if (H > 12)
{
H = H-12
}
amtOfZeroes = 2;
isNeg = false;
if (M < 0)
{
M = Math.abs(M);
isNeg = true;
}
Mo = Math.round(M) + "";
while(Mo.length < amtOfZeroes)
{
Mo = "0" + Mo;
}
if (isNeg)
Mo = "-" + Mo;
if (H < 0)
{
H = Math.abs(H);
isNeg = true;
}
Ho = Math.round(H) + "";
while(Ho.length < amtOfZeroes)
{
Ho = "0" + Ho;
}
if (isNeg)
Ho = "-" + Ho;
if (Mi < 0)
{
Mi = Math.abs(Mi);
isNeg = true;
}
Min = Math.round(Mi) + "";
while(Min.length < amtOfZeroes)
{
Min = "0" + Min;
}
if (isNeg)
Min = "-" + Min;
T = Ho + ":" + (Min)
Mo + "/" + D.getDate() + "/" + D.getFullYear() + " " + T + " " + N

My well intended answer is to use this tiny bit of JS: https://github.com/rhroyston/clock-js
clock.now --> 1462248501241
clock.time --> 11:08 PM
clock.weekday --> monday
clock.day --> 2
clock.month --> may
clock.year --> 2016
clock.since(1462245888784) --> 44 minutes
clock.until(1462255888784) --> 2 hours
clock.what.time(1462245888784) --> 10:24 PM
clock.what.weekday(1461968554458) --> friday
clock.what.day('14622458887 84') --> 2
clock.what.month(1461968554458) --> april
clock.what.year('1461968554458') --> 2016
clock.what.time() --> 11:11 PM
clock.what.weekday('14619685abcd') --> clock.js error : expected unix timestamp as argument
clock.unit.seconds --> 1000
clock.unit.minutes --> 60000
clock.unit.hours --> 3600000
clock.unit.days --> 86400000
clock.unit.weeks --> 604800000
clock.unit.months --> 2628002880
clock.unit.years --> 31536000000

This example of UK Time Zone.. set offset for specific Time Zone.
Example : for India : +05:30 , UK : +1
function realUKTime() {
// create Date object for current location
var d = new Date();
offset ='+1';
// convert to msec
// subtract local time zone offset
// get UTC time in msec
var utc = d.getTime() + (d.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);
// create new Date object for different city
// using supplied offset
var nd = new Date(utc + (3600000*offset));
// return time as a string
var s = nd.getSeconds();
var i = nd.getMinutes();
var h = nd.getHours();
var cDate = nd.getDate();
var m = nd.getUTCMonth();
var y = nd.getFullYear();
var newUkTime = nd.toDateString() + " "+ (Number(h)-1)+":"+i+':'+s
$("#realTime").html(newUkTime);
}
setInterval(realUKTime(),1000);
Output :: Mon Dec 27 2021 12:6:3
we can use :
new Date().toLocaleDateString() to fetch current date and
new Date().toLocaleTimeString() to fetch current time
Ex:
const date = new Date().toLocaleDateString();
const time = new Date().toLocaleTimeString();
For using the Amazon mechanical turk API I want to get the current GMT time and show it in ISO format
2011-02-24T20:38:34Z
I am wondering if there is any way to correctly get the gmt time and also be able to reformat it with ISO format. I can use something like now.toGMTString(); but it makes a string out of the date and it is hard to reformat it with ISO.
var year = now.getUTCFullYear()
var month = now.getUTCMonth()
var day= now.getUTCDay()
var hour= now.getUTCHours()
var mins= now.getUTCMinutes()
var secs= now.getUTCSeconds()
var dateString = year + "-" + month + "-" + day + "T" + hour + ":" + mins + ":" + secs + "Z"
You should be using UTC now instead of GMT. (Amounts to almost the same thing now, and it is the new standard anyway)
I believe this will work for you:
Number.prototype.pad = function(width,chr){
chr = chr || '0';
var result = this;
for (var a = 0; a < width; a++)
result = chr + result;
return result.slice(-width);
}
Date.prototype.toISOString = function(){
return this.getUTCFullYear().pad(4) + '-'
+ this.getUTCMonth().pad(2) + '-'
+ this.getUTCDay().pad(2) + 'T'
+ this.getUTCHours().pad(2) + ':'
+ this.getUTCMinutes().pad(2) + ':'
+ this.getUTCSeconds().pad(2) + 'Z';
}
Usage:
var d = new Date;
alert('ISO Format: '+d.toISOString());
Not much more different than every else's answer, but make it built-in to the date object for convenience
function pad(num) {
return ("0" + num).slice(-2);
}
function formatDate(d) {
return [d.getUTCFullYear(),
pad(d.getUTCMonth() + 1),
pad(d.getUTCDate())].join("-") + "T" +
[pad(d.getUTCHours()),
pad(d.getUTCMinutes()),
pad(d.getUTCSeconds())].join(":") + "Z";
}
formatDate(new Date());
Output:
"2011-02-24T21:01:55Z"
This script can take care of it
/* use a function for the exact format desired... */
function ISODateString(d){
function pad(n){return n<10 ? '0'+n : n}
return d.getUTCFullYear()+'-'
+ pad(d.getUTCMonth()+1)+'-'
+ pad(d.getUTCDate())+'T'
+ pad(d.getUTCHours())+':'
+ pad(d.getUTCMinutes())+':'
+ pad(d.getUTCSeconds())+'Z'}
var d = new Date();
document.write(ISODateString(d)); // prints something like 2009-09-28T19:03:12Z
