How do you display a JavaScript datetime object in the 12 hour format (AM/PM)?

Solution

  • If you just want to show the hours then..

    var time = new Date();
console.log(
  time.toLocaleString('en-US', { hour: 'numeric', hour12: true })
);

    Output : 7 AM

    If you wish to show the minutes as well then...

    var time = new Date();
console.log(
  time.toLocaleString('en-US', { hour: 'numeric', minute: 'numeric', hour12: true })
);

    Output : 7:23 AM
