How do I get the current time only in JavaScript
var d = new Date("2011-04-20T09:30:51.01");
d.getHours(); // => 9
d.getMinutes(); // => 30
d.getSeconds(); // => 51
or
var d = new Date(); // for now
d.getHours(); // => 9
d.getMinutes(); // => 30
d.getSeconds(); // => 51
Short and simple:
new Date().toLocaleTimeString(); // 11:18:48 AM
//---
new Date().toLocaleDateString(); // 11/16/2015
//---
new Date().toLocaleString(); // 11/16/2015, 11:18:48 PM
4 hours later (use milisec: sec==1000):
new Date(new Date().getTime() + 4*60*60*1000).toLocaleTimeString(); // 3:18:48 PM or 15:18:48
2 days before:
new Date(new Date().getTime() - 2*24*60*60*1000).toLocaleDateString() // 11/14/2015
Get and set the current time efficiently using javascript
I couldn't find a solution that did exactly what I needed. I wanted clean and tiny code so I came up with this:
(Set once in your master.js and invoke when required.)
PURE JAVASCRIPT
function timeNow(i) {
var d = new Date(),
h = (d.getHours()<10?'0':'') + d.getHours(),
m = (d.getMinutes()<10?'0':'') + d.getMinutes();
i.value = h + ':' + m;
}
<a onclick="timeNow(test1)" href="#">SET TIME</a>
<input id="test1" type="time" value="10:40" />
UPDATE
There is now sufficient browser support to simply use: toLocaleTimeString
For html5 type time
the format must be hh:mm
.
function timeNow(i) {
i.value = new Date().toLocaleTimeString([], {hour: '2-digit', minute:'2-digit'});
}
<a onclick="timeNow(test1)" href="#">SET TIME</a>
<input id="test1" type="time" value="10:40" />
