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

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.

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1:

Here is a more general version of this question, which covers locales other than en-US. Also, there can be issues parsing the output from toLocaleTimeString(), so CJLopez suggests using this instead:

var dateWithouthSecond = new Date();
dateWithouthSecond.toLocaleTimeString(navigator.language, {hour: '2-digit', minute:'2-digit'});

Solution 2:

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.

Solution 3:

Use the Intl.DateTimeFormat library.

 function prettyDate2(time){
    var date = new Date(parseInt(time));
    var options = {hour: "numeric", minute: "numeric"};
    return new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-US", options).format(date);
  }

I posted my solution here https://stackoverflow.com/a/48595422/6204133

var textTime = new Date(sunriseMills + offsetCityMills + offsetDeviceMills) 
                .toLocaleTimeString('en-US', { hour: 'numeric', minute: 'numeric' });

// '7.04 AM'

Solution 5:

You may also try like this:-

function timeformat(date) {
  var h = date.getHours();
  var m = date.getMinutes();
  var x = h >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am';
  h = h % 12;
  h = h ? h : 12;
  m = m < 10 ? '0'+m: m;
  var mytime= h + ':' + m + ' ' + x;
  return mytime;
}

or something like this:-

new Date('16/10/2013 20:57:34').toLocaleTimeString().replace(/([\d]+:[\d]{2})(:[\d]{2})(.*)/, "$1$3")
