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

In modern browsers, use Intl.DateTimeFormat and force 12hr format with options:

    let now = new Date();

    new Intl.DateTimeFormat('default',
        {
            hour12: true,
            hour: 'numeric',
            minute: 'numeric'
        }).format(now);

    // 6:30 AM

Using default will honor browser's default locale if you add more options, yet will still output 12hr format.
