Closed 3 years ago.
i try to disply time with the showing AM / PM format but i am unable to find any code can you please guide me
var dt = new Date();
var time = dt.getHours() + ":" + dt.getMinutes() + ":" + dt.getSeconds();
document.getElementById("dt").innerHTML = time;
<p id='dt'></p>

var dt = new Date();
var time = dt.getHours() + ":" + dt.getMinutes() + ":" + dt.getSeconds()+" ";
time+= dt.getHours()>=12?"PM":"AM"
document.getElementById("dt").innerHTML = time;
<div id="dt"></div>

Just check if the value less than 12, and keep the hours under 12 and return 12 instead of 0 by: (hours %12 || 12):
var dt = new Date();
var time = (dt.getHours()%12||12) + ":" + dt.getMinutes() + ":" + dt.getSeconds() + " " + (dt.getHours() < 12)===0?"AM" : "PM";
document.getElementById("dt").innerHTML = time;

Just compare the hours to if its less than 12 and if so set a variable to either AM or PM. Note that the following has the leading 0 added to the mins and secs if required (the slice will only include the 0 if the length of the value is 1).
var dt = new Date();
var hrs = dt.getHours();
var hours = hrs % 12;
var mins = '0' + dt.getMinutes();
var minutes = mins.slice(-2);
var secs = '0' + dt.getSeconds();
var seconds = secs.slice(-2);
var amPm = hrs< 12 ? 'AM' : 'PM';
var time = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds + ' ' + amPm;
document.getElementById("dt").innerHTML = time;
<p id = "dt"></p>

I want to subtract 8 hours from current time. If I try to subtract 8 from hours, it goes in negative

I am using UTC time and want to subtract 8 hours from the current time. I am using JavaScript.
function getUTCStartDate(time) {
var d = new Date();
var year = d.getUTCFullYear();
var month = (d.getUTCMonth() + 1);
var date = d.getUTCDate();
var hours = d.getUTCHours();
var hoursMinusTime = (d.getUTCHours() - time);
var minutes = d.getUTCMinutes();
var seconds = d.getUTCSeconds();
var millisec = d.getUTCMilliseconds();
date = date.toString().length > 1 ? date : '0' + date;
month = month.toString().length > 1 ? month : '0' + month;
hoursMinusTime = hoursMinusTime.toString().length > 1 ? hoursMinusTime : '0' + hoursMinusTime;
minutes = minutes.toString().length > 1 ? minutes : '0' + minutes;
seconds = seconds.toString().length > 1 ? seconds : '0' + seconds;
millisec = millisec.toString().length > 1 ? millisec : '0' + millisec;
return year + "-" + month + "-" + date + "T" + hoursMinusTime + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds + "." + millisec + "Z";
}

I did it in a different way. Converted the time in unix time deducted 8 hours from it.
var currTime = new Date();
var d = new Date(currTime.getTime() - (time * 3600000));
var hours = d.getUTCHours();

How to format database datetime in javascript?

I have a datetime value gotten from an SQLServer database table:
2016-08-16T17:00:00Z
Using javascript, I want to format the date as follow:
16/08/2016 17:00:00
I have used the code below:
$scope.FormatDate = function (value) {
if (value !== null && typeof (value) !== 'undefined') {
var date = new Date(value);
var returnStr = date.getDate() + "/" + date.getMonth() + 1 + "/" + date.getFullYear();
return returnStr;
} else {
return value;
}
}
The result from the sample resource is:
17/71/2016
I want your help to get the output result as: "16/08/2016 17:00:00"

If all you want to do is format it then you don't need to create an actual date object, you can do a simple string replace using a regex to grab the individual parts, as per this simple demo:
var value = "2016-08-16T17:00:00Z";
console.log(value.replace(/(\d{4})-(\d\d)-(\d\d)T([^Z]+)Z/,"$3/$2/$1 $4"));
In the context of your function:
$scope.FormatDate = function (value) {
if (value !== null && typeof (value) !== 'undefined') {
return value.replace(/(\d{4})-(\d\d)-(\d\d)T([^Z]+)Z/,"$3/$2/$1 $4");
} else {
return value;
}
}

Another solution:
var parsed = Date.parse("2016-08-16T17:00:00Z"),
date = new Date(parsed),
day = date.getUTCDate(),
month = date.getUTCMonth() + 1,
year = date.getUTCFullYear(),
hour = date.getUTCHours(),
minute = date.getUTCMinutes(),
second = date.getUTCSeconds(),
dateStr = "";
day = day < 10 ? "0" + day : day;
month = month < 10 ? "0" + month : month;
hour = hour < 10 ? "0" + hour : hour;
minute = minute < 10 ? "0" + minute : minute;
second = second < 10 ? "0" + second : second;
dateStr = day + "/" + month + "/" + year + " " + hour + ":" + minute + ":" + second;
console.log(dateStr);
Updated: The old code may change across countries, because they have different local date/time format, so I have updated to format it explicitly.

Try this
function formatDate(date)
{
var hours = date.getHours();
var minutes = date.getMinutes();
var seconds = date.getSeconds();
minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0'+minutes : minutes;
seconds = seconds < 10 ? '0'+seconds : seconds;
var strTime = hours + ':' + minutes + ':' +seconds ;
return date.getMonth()+1 + "/" + date.getDate() + "/" + date.getFullYear() + " " + strTime;
}

You can use this library to format the date as you desire with implementing some logic.
http://momentjs.com/
Just work with the function parameter value and use moment.
Example:
const date = moment("2016-08-16T17:00:00Z").date();
const month = moment("2016-08-16T17:00:00Z").month();
const hour = moment("2016-08-16T17:00:00Z").hour();
const year = moment("2016-08-16T17:00:00Z").year();
const minute = moment("2016-08-16T17:00:00Z").minute();
const sec = moment("2016-08-16T17:00:00Z").second();
// implementing some logic
console.log('' + date + '/' + month + '/' + year + ' ' + hour + ':' + minute + ':' + sec);

Get HTML5 datetime-local exact value

Try to use this, http://jsfiddle.net/mdg2u4ut and you will notice the hour will be different with what you've set, like in my case
I think it's because of the timezone problem.
I can just hardcoded -8 for the hour variable in my case but that's not the smart way of doing it.
<input type="datetime-local" onblur="formatDate(this.value)" />
<p id="para"></p>
my JS
function formatDate(date) {
if(date){
date = new Date(date);
var hours = date.getHours();
var minutes = date.getMinutes();
var format = hours < 12 ? 'AM' : 'PM';
hours = hours % 12;
hours = hours ? hours : 12; // making 0 a 12
minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0'+minutes : minutes;
var time = hours + ':' + minutes + ' ' + format;
var output = date.getMonth()+1 + "/" + date.getDate() + "/" + date.getFullYear() + " " + time;
document.querySelector('#para').innerHTML = output;
}
}

Use getUTC methods instead. jsFiddle
var hours = date.getUTCHours();
var minutes = date.getUTCMinutes();
var format = hours < 12 ? 'AM' : 'PM';
hours = hours % 12;
hours = hours ? hours : 12; // making 0 a 12
minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0'+minutes : minutes;
var time = hours + ':' + minutes + ' ' + format;
var output = date.getUTCMonth()+1 + "/" + date.getUTCDate() + "/" + date.getUTCFullYear() + " " + time;

Date/Time format issue with Chrome

I get the date/time value as below in JSON:
"ChangedDate":"\/Date(1349469145000)\/"
In FF and IE, I get the above date in 12 hr format (10/5/2012 - 3:32:25 PM) using the helper function below:
Handlebars.registerHelper('FormatDate', function (date) {
if (date == null)
return "";
else {
var value = new Date(parseInt(date.substr(6)));
return value.getMonth() + 1 + "/" + value.getDate() + "/" + value.getFullYear() + " - " + value.toLocaleTimeString();
}
});
however, in Chrome I still get the 24 hr format (10/5/2012 - 15:32:25).
How do I get the date/time value in 12 hr format in Chrome?

Use toLocaleTimeString when the intent is to display to the user a
string formatted using the regional format chosen by the user. Be
aware that this method, due to its nature, behaves differently
depending on the operating system and on the user's settings.
You may be better off changing this line:
return value.getMonth() + 1 + "/" + value.getDate() + "/" + value.getFullYear() + " - " + value.toLocaleTimeString();
to:
return value.getMonth() + 1 + "/" + value.getDate() + "/" + value.getFullYear() + " - " + (value.getHours() > 12 ? value.getHours() - 12 : value.getHours()) + ":" + value.getMinutes() + ":" + value.getSeconds();
Where we check to see if the hours are > 12 and if so we subtract 12 from that number.
(value.getHours() > 12 ? value.getHours() - 12 : value.getHours())
So your example 15:32:25 would be 15 - 12 = 3: 3:32:25.

EDIT
//set up example
var date = new Date("10/5/2012");
date.setHours(15,32,25,00);
//Get data from date
var month = date.getMonth()+1;
var day = date.getDate();
var year = date.getFullYear();
var hours = date.getHours();
var amOrPm = "AM";
if(date.getHours() > 12){
hours = date.getHours() - 12;
amOrPm = "PM";
}
var minutes = date.getMinutes();
if(minutes < 10)
minutes = "0" + minutes;
var seconds = date.getSeconds();
if(seconds < 10)
seconds = "0" + seconds;
var dateString = month + "/" + day + "/" + year + " - " + hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds;
console.log(dateString);
I made this example a bit more detailed than needed, but it helps to show you what's going on. Hope it helps.
EXAMPLE
Condensed down this would look something like:
//Get data from date
var dateString = (date.getMonth()+1) + "/" + date.getDate() + "/" + date.getFullYear() + " - " + (date.getHours() > 12 ? date.getHours() - 12 : date.getHours())+ ":" + (date.getMinutes() < 10 ? "0" + date.getMinutes() : date.getMinutes()) + ":" + (date.getSeconds() < 10 ? "0" + date.getSeconds() : date.getSeconds()) + " " + (date.getHours() > 12 ? "PM" : "AM");
