How to show only hours and minutes from javascript date.toLocaleTimeString()?

Question

Can anyone please help me get the HH:MM am/pm format instead of HH:MM:SS am/pm.

My javascript code is :

function prettyDate2(time){
  var date = new Date(parseInt(time));
  var localeSpecificTime = date.toLocaleTimeString();
  return localeSpecificTimel;
} 

It returns the time in the format HH:MM:SS am/pm, but my client's requirement is HH:MM am/pm.

Please help me.

Answer 1

A more general version from @CJLopez's answer:

function prettyDate2(time) {
  var date = new Date(parseInt(time));
  return date.toLocaleTimeString(navigator.language, {
    hour: '2-digit',
    minute:'2-digit'
  });
}

Original answer (not useful internationally)

You can do this:

function prettyDate2(time){
    var date = new Date(parseInt(time));
    var localeSpecificTime = date.toLocaleTimeString();
    return localeSpecificTime.replace(/:\d+ /, ' ');
}

The regex is stripping the seconds from that string.
