I have a time that I want to convert to a regular time like 08:00:01 PM.
data.time = "18:54:00"
format(new Date(data.time), `hh:mm:ss A`)
You need to parse it before formatting, and your format string is wrong. Check the parse docs
format(parse('18:54:00', 'HH:mm:ss', new Date), 'hh:mm:ss a')
// > 06:54:00 PM
