How to get am pm from the date time string using moment js
You are using the wrong format tokens when parsing your input. You should use ddd
for an abbreviation of the name of day of the week, DD
for day of the month, MMM
for an abbreviation of the month's name, YYYY
for the year, hh
for the 1-12
hour, mm
for minutes and A
for AM/PM
. See moment(String, String)
docs.
Here is a working live sample:
console.log( moment('Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 AM', 'ddd DD-MMM-YYYY, hh:mm A').format('hh:mm A') );
console.log( moment('Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 PM', 'ddd DD-MMM-YYYY, hh:mm A').format('hh:mm A') );
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.18.1/moment.min.js"></script>
you will get the time without specifying the date format. convert the string to date using Date
object
var myDate = new Date('Mon 03-Jul-2017, 06:00 PM');
working solution:
var myDate= new Date('Mon 03-Jul-2017, 06:00 PM');
console.log(moment(myDate).format('HH:mm')); // 24 hour format
console.log(moment(myDate).format('hh:mm')); // 12 hour format
console.log(moment(myDate).format('hh:mm A'));
console.log(moment(myDate).format('hh:mm a'));
