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

It will return the following format like

09:56 AM

appending zero in start for the hours as well if it is less than 10

Here it is using ES6 syntax

const getTimeAMPMFormat = (date) => {
  let hours = date.getHours();
  let minutes = date.getMinutes();
  const ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'PM' : 'AM';
  hours = hours % 12;
  hours = hours ? hours : 12; // the hour '0' should be '12'
  hours = hours < 10 ? '0' + hours : hours;
  // appending zero in the start if hours less than 10
  minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0' + minutes : minutes;
  return hours + ':' + minutes + ' ' + ampm;
};
console.log(getTimeAMPMFormat(new Date)); // 09:59 AM
