getMinutes() 0-9 - How to display two digit numbers?

Question

var date = \"2012-01-18T16:03\";
var date = new Date(date);

console.log(date.getMinutes());
console.log(date.getMinutes().length)

This returns 3.

Answer 1

If you're using AngularJS in your project, just inject $filter and use it like here:

$filter('date')(value, 'HH:mm')

You can also format the output in the template, more on filters here.

Answer 2

var date = new Date("2012-01-18T16:03");

console.log( (date.getMinutes()<10?'0':'') + date.getMinutes() );

Answer 3

Another option:

var dateTime = new Date();
var minutesTwoDigitsWithLeadingZero = ("0" + dateTime.getMinutes()).substr(-2);
