moment js format code example

Example 1: js get time in am

function formatAMPM(date) {
  var hours = date.getHours();
  var minutes = date.getMinutes();
  var ampm = hours >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am';
  hours = hours % 12;
  hours = hours ? hours : 12; // the hour '0' should be '12'
  minutes = minutes < 10 ? '0'+minutes : minutes;
  var strTime = hours + ':' + minutes + ' ' + ampm;
  return strTime;
}

console.log(formatAMPM(new Date));

Example 2: moment format

moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'); // September 30th 2020, 2:48:17 pm
moment().format('dddd');                    // Wednesday
moment().format("MMM Do YY");               // Sep 30th 20
moment().format('YYYY [escaped] YYYY');     // 2020 escaped 2020
moment().format();                          // 2020-09-30T14:48:17+02:00

Example 3: moment js date diff

var now  = "04/09/2013 15:00:00";
var then = "02/09/2013 14:20:30";

var ms = moment(now,"DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss").diff(moment(then,"DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss"));
var d = moment.duration(ms);
var s = d.format("hh:mm:ss");

// outputs: "48:39:30"

Example 4: moment.js

npm install moment --save  #npm

const moment = require('moment'); //require

moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'); // February 13th 2021, 1:49:03 am
moment().format('dddd');                    // Saturday
moment().format("MMM Do YY");               // Feb 13th 21
moment().format('YYYY [escaped] YYYY');     // 2021 escaped 2021
moment().format();                         	// 2021-02-13T01:49:29+01:00
moment("20111031", "YYYYMMDD").fromNow(); 	// 9 years ago
moment("20120620", "YYYYMMDD").fromNow(); 	// 9 years ago
moment().startOf('day').fromNow();        	// 2 hours ago
moment().endOf('day').fromNow();          	// in a day
moment().startOf('hour').fromNow();      	// an hour ago
moment().subtract(10, 'days').calendar(); 	// 02/03/2021
moment().subtract(6, 'days').calendar();  	// Last Sunday at 1:50 AM
moment().subtract(3, 'days').calendar();  	// Last Wednesday at 1:50 AM
moment().subtract(1, 'days').calendar();  	// Yesterday at 1:50 AM
moment().calendar();                      	// Today at 1:50 AM
moment().add(1, 'days').calendar();       	// Tomorrow at 1:50 AM
moment().add(3, 'days').calendar();       	// Tuesday at 1:50 AM
moment().add(10, 'days').calendar();     	// 02/23/2021
moment.locale();         					// en
moment().format('LT');   					// 1:50 AM
moment().format('LTS');  					// 1:50:49 AM
moment().format('L');    					// 02/13/2021
moment().format('l');    					// 2/13/2021
moment().format('LL');   					// February 13, 2021
moment().format('ll');   					// Feb 13, 2021
moment().format('LLL');  					// February 13, 2021 1:50 AM
moment().format('lll');  					// Feb 13, 2021 1:50 AM
moment().format('LLLL'); 					// Saturday, February 13, 2021 1:50 AM
moment().format('llll');					// Sat, Feb 13, 2021 1:51 AM

Example 5: moment add seconds

var travelTime = moment().add(642, 'seconds').format('hh:mm A');// it will add 642 seconds in the current time and will give time in 03:35 PM format

var travelTime = moment().add(11, 'minutes').format('hh:mm A');// it will add 11 mins in the current time and will give time in 03:35 PM format; can use m or minutes 

var travelTime = moment().add(2, 'hours').format('hh:mm A');// it will add 2 hours in the current time and will give time in 03:35 PM format

Example 6: format a date moment

moment(testDate).format('MM/DD/YYYY');
