Question

I want to get 1 to 24, 1 being 1am Pacific Time.

How can I get that number in Node.JS?

I want to know what time it is in Pacific time right

Answer 1

For my instance i used it as a global and then called its for a time check of when hours of operation.

Below is from my index.js

global.globalDay = new Date().getDay(); 

global.globalHours = new Date().getHours();

To call the global's value from another file

    /*
     Days of the Week.
     Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2, Wensday = 3, Thursday = 4, Friday = 5, Saturday = 6

     Hours of the Day.
     0 = Midnight, 1 = 1am, 12 = Noon, 18 = 6pm, 23 = 11pm
     */

if (global.globalDay === 6 || global.globalDay === 0) {
     console.log('Its the weekend.');
} else if (global.globalDay > 0 && global.globalDay < 6 && global.globalHours > 8 && global.globalHours < 18) {
     console.log('During Business Hours!');
} else {
     console.log("Outside of Business hours!");
}

Answer 2

var date = new Date();
var year = date.getFullYear();
var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
month = (month < 10 ? "0" : "") + month;
var hour = date.getHours();
hour = (hour < 10 ? "0" : "") + hour;
var day  = date.getDate();
day = (hour > 12 ? "" : "") + day - 1;
day = (day < 10 ? "0" : "") + day;
x = ":"
console.log( month + x + day + x + year )

It will display the date in the month, day, then the year

If you only want the time string you can use this expression (with a simple RegEx):

new Date().toISOString().match(/(\d{2}:){2}\d{2}/)[0]
// "23:00:59"
