convert 12-hour hh:mm AM/PM to 24-hour hh:mm
JavascriptJqueryJavascript Problem Overview
Is there any simple way to convert 12-hour hh:mm AM/PM to 24-hour hh:mm using jquery?
Note: not using any other libraries.
I have a var time = $("#starttime").val() that returns a hh:mm AM/PM.
Javascript Solutions
Solution 1 - Javascript
Try this
var time = $("#starttime").val();
var hours = Number(time.match(/^(\d+)/)[1]);
var minutes = Number(time.match(/:(\d+)/)[1]);
var AMPM = time.match(/\s(.*)$/)[1];
if(AMPM == "PM" && hours<12) hours = hours+12;
if(AMPM == "AM" && hours==12) hours = hours-12;
var sHours = hours.toString();
var sMinutes = minutes.toString();
if(hours<10) sHours = "0" + sHours;
if(minutes<10) sMinutes = "0" + sMinutes;
alert(sHours + ":" + sMinutes);
Solution 2 - Javascript
This question needs a newer answer :)
const convertTime12to24 = (time12h) => {
const [time, modifier] = time12h.split(' ');
let [hours, minutes] = time.split(':');
if (hours === '12') {
hours = '00';
}
if (modifier === 'PM') {
hours = parseInt(hours, 10) + 12;
}
return `${hours}:${minutes}`;
}
console.log(convertTime12to24('01:02 PM'));
console.log(convertTime12to24('05:06 PM'));
console.log(convertTime12to24('12:00 PM'));
console.log(convertTime12to24('12:00 AM'));
Solution 3 - Javascript
I had to do something similar but I was generating a Date object so I ended up making a function like this:
function convertTo24Hour(time) {
var hours = parseInt(time.substr(0, 2));
if(time.indexOf('am') != -1 && hours == 12) {
time = time.replace('12', '0');
}
if(time.indexOf('pm') != -1 && hours < 12) {
time = time.replace(hours, (hours + 12));
}
return time.replace(/(am|pm)/, '');
}
I think this reads a little easier. You feed a string in the format h:mm am/pm.
var time = convertTo24Hour($("#starttime").val().toLowerCase());
var date = new Date($("#startday").val() + ' ' + time);
Examples:
$("#startday").val('7/10/2013');
$("#starttime").val('12:00am');
new Date($("#startday").val() + ' ' + convertTo24Hour($("#starttime").val().toLowerCase()));
Wed Jul 10 2013 00:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
$("#starttime").val('12:00pm');
new Date($("#startday").val() + ' ' + convertTo24Hour($("#starttime").val().toLowerCase()));
Wed Jul 10 2013 12:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
$("#starttime").val('1:00am');
new Date($("#startday").val() + ' ' + convertTo24Hour($("#starttime").val().toLowerCase()));
Wed Jul 10 2013 01:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
$("#starttime").val('12:12am');
new Date($("#startday").val() + ' ' + convertTo24Hour($("#starttime").val().toLowerCase()));
Wed Jul 10 2013 00:12:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
$("#starttime").val('3:12am');
new Date($("#startday").val() + ' ' + convertTo24Hour($("#starttime").val().toLowerCase()));
Wed Jul 10 2013 03:12:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
$("#starttime").val('9:12pm');
new Date($("#startday").val() + ' ' + convertTo24Hour($("#starttime").val().toLowerCase()));
Wed Jul 10 2013 21:12:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)
Solution 4 - Javascript
This will help :
function getTwentyFourHourTime(amPmString) {
var d = new Date("1/1/2013 " + amPmString);
return d.getHours() + ':' + d.getMinutes();
}
Example :
getTwentyFourHourTime("8:45 PM"); // "20:45"
getTwentyFourHourTime("8:45 AM"); // "8:45"
Update : Note : There should be a space for timestring between "Time" and "am/pm".
Solution 5 - Javascript
Here my solution including seconds:
function convert_to_24h(time_str) {
// Convert a string like 10:05:23 PM to 24h format, returns like [22,5,23]
var time = time_str.match(/(\d+):(\d+):(\d+) (\w)/);
var hours = Number(time[1]);
var minutes = Number(time[2]);
var seconds = Number(time[3]);
var meridian = time[4].toLowerCase();
if (meridian == 'p' && hours < 12) {
hours += 12;
}
else if (meridian == 'a' && hours == 12) {
hours -= 12;
}
return [hours, minutes, seconds];
};
Solution 6 - Javascript
i must recommend a library: Moment
code:
var target12 = '2016-12-08 9:32:45 PM';
console.log(moment(target12, 'YYYY-MM-DD h:m:s A').format('YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss'));
Solution 7 - Javascript
function timeConversion(s) {
var time = s.toLowerCase().split(':');
var hours = parseInt(time[0]);
var _ampm = time[2];
if (_ampm.indexOf('am') != -1 && hours == 12) {
time[0] = '00';
}
if (_ampm.indexOf('pm') != -1 && hours < 12) {
time[0] = hours + 12;
}
return time.join(':').replace(/(am|pm)/, '');
}
Call the function with string params:
timeConversion('17:05:45AM')
or
timeConversion('07:05:45PM')
Solution 8 - Javascript
I needed this function for a project. I tried devnull69's but I was having some trouble, mostly because the string input is very specific for the am/pm section and I would've needed to change my validation. I messed around with Adrian P.'s jsfiddle and ended up with a version that seems to work better for a larger variety of date formats. Here is the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/u91q8kmt/2/.
Here is the function:
function ConvertTimeformat(format, str) {
var hours = Number(str.match(/^(\d+)/)[1]);
var minutes = Number(str.match(/:(\d+)/)[1]);
var AMPM = str.match(/\s?([AaPp][Mm]?)$/)[1];
var pm = ['P', 'p', 'PM', 'pM', 'pm', 'Pm'];
var am = ['A', 'a', 'AM', 'aM', 'am', 'Am'];
if (pm.indexOf(AMPM) >= 0 && hours < 12) hours = hours + 12;
if (am.indexOf(AMPM) >= 0 && hours == 12) hours = hours - 12;
var sHours = hours.toString();
var sMinutes = minutes.toString();
if (hours < 10) sHours = "0" + sHours;
if (minutes < 10) sMinutes = "0" + sMinutes;
if (format == '0000') {
return (sHours + sMinutes);
} else if (format == '00:00') {
return (sHours + ":" + sMinutes);
} else {
return false;
}
}
Solution 9 - Javascript
In case you're looking for a solution that converts ANY FORMAT to 24 hours HH:MM correctly.
function get24hTime(str){
str = String(str).toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g, '');
var has_am = str.indexOf('am') >= 0;
var has_pm = str.indexOf('pm') >= 0;
// first strip off the am/pm, leave it either hour or hour:minute
str = str.replace('am', '').replace('pm', '');
// if hour, convert to hour:00
if (str.indexOf(':') < 0) str = str + ':00';
// now it's hour:minute
// we add am/pm back if striped out before
if (has_am) str += ' am';
if (has_pm) str += ' pm';
// now its either hour:minute, or hour:minute am/pm
// put it in a date object, it will convert to 24 hours format for us
var d = new Date("1/1/2011 " + str);
// make hours and minutes double digits
var doubleDigits = function(n){
return (parseInt(n) < 10) ? "0" + n : String(n);
};
return doubleDigits(d.getHours()) + ':' + doubleDigits(d.getMinutes());
}
console.log(get24hTime('6')); // 06:00
console.log(get24hTime('6am')); // 06:00
console.log(get24hTime('6pm')); // 18:00
console.log(get24hTime('6:11pm')); // 18:11
console.log(get24hTime('6:11')); // 06:11
console.log(get24hTime('18')); // 18:00
console.log(get24hTime('18:11')); // 18:11
Solution 10 - Javascript
With this you can have the following: Sample Input: 07:05:45PM Sample Output: 19:05:45
function timeConversion(s) {
let output = '';
const timeSeparator = ':'
const timeTokenType = s.substr(s.length - 2 , 2).toLowerCase();
const timeArr = s.split(timeSeparator).map((timeToken) => {
const isTimeTokenType =
timeToken.toLowerCase().indexOf('am') > 0 ||
timeToken.toLowerCase().indexOf('pm');
if(isTimeTokenType){
return timeToken.substr(0, 2);
} else {
return timeToken;
}
});
const hour = timeArr[0];
const minutes = timeArr[1];
const seconds = timeArr[2];
const hourIn24 = (timeTokenType === 'am') ? parseInt(hour) - 12 :
parseInt(hour) + 12;
return hourIn24.toString()+ timeSeparator + minutes + timeSeparator + seconds;
}
Hope you like it !

For anybody reading this in the future, here is a simpler answer:
var s = "11:41:02PM";
var time = s.match(/\d{2}/g);
if (time[0] === "12") time[0] = "00";
if (s.indexOf("PM") > -1) time[0] = parseInt(time[0])+12;
return time.join(":");

console.log(convertTime12to24('06:00 am'));
console.log(convertTime12to24('9:00 am'));

based on meeting CodeSkill #1
validation of format should be another function :)
function convertTimeFrom12To24(timeStr) {
var colon = timeStr.indexOf(':');
var hours = timeStr.substr(0, colon),
minutes = timeStr.substr(colon+1, 2),
meridian = timeStr.substr(colon+4, 2).toUpperCase();
var hoursInt = parseInt(hours, 10),
offset = meridian == 'PM' ? 12 : 0;
if (hoursInt === 12) {
hoursInt = offset;

An extended version of @krzysztof answer with the ability to work on time that has space or not between time and modifier.
const convertTime12to24 = (time12h) => {
const [fullMatch, time, modifier] = time12h.match(/(\d?\d:\d\d)\s*(\w{2})/i);
let [hours, minutes] = time.split(':');
if (hours === '12') {
hours = '00';

I've created a bit of an adaptation of script @devnull69 submitted. I felt for my application it would be more useful as a function that returned the value that I could, then use as a variable.
HTML
<input type="text" id="time_field" />
<button>Submit</submit>
jQuery
$(document).ready(function() {
function convertTime(time) {
var hours = Number(time.match(/^(\d\d?)/)[1]);
var minutes = Number(time.match(/:(\d\d?)/)[1]);
var AMPM = time.match(/\s(AM|PM)$/i)[1];
if((AMPM == 'PM' || AMPM == 'pm') && hours < 12) {
hours = hours + 12;
}
else if((AMPM == 'AM' || AMPM == "am") && hours == 12) {
hours = hours - 12;

var sHours = hours.toString();
var sMinutes = minutes.toString();

You could try this more generic function:
function from12to24(hours, minutes, meridian) {
let h = parseInt(hours, 10);
const m = parseInt(minutes, 10);
if (meridian.toUpperCase() === 'PM') {
h = (h !== 12) ? h + 12 : h;
} else {
h = (h === 12) ? 0 : h;
}
return new Date((new Date()).setHours(h,m,0,0));
}
Note it uses some ES6 functionality.

I found this to be the simplest way. Here's a step-by-step on what's happening:
-
You get the time in 12-hour format
-
Split the time by timestamp & meridian
-
If it's midnight, prepend
00otherwise print just the timestamp -
If it's noon, just print the timestamp otherwise add the hour with
12
function timeConversion(s) {
// 07:05:45PM
const timeInAmPmArray = s.split(/(AM|PM)/) // ['07:05:45', 'PM', '']
const hour = Number(timeInAmPmArray[0].split(':')[0]) // 7
const amOrPm = timeInAmPmArray[1] // PM
let timeIn24Hour = ''
if(amOrPm === 'AM') {
timeIn24Hour = hour === 12 ? `00:${timeInAmPmArray[0].split(':').slice(1).join(':')}` : timeInAmPmArray[0]
} else {
timeIn24Hour = hour === 12 ? timeInAmPmArray[0] : `${hour + 12}:${timeInAmPmArray[0].split(':').slice(1).join(':')}`
// timeIn24Hour = 19:05:45
}
return timeIn24Hour
}

Solution 33 - Javascript
I'm adding a simple code -
const time = '12:10AM';
function convertTo24HrsFormat(time) {
let [hour, modifier] = time.split(":");
let min = parseInt(modifier).toString().padStart(2, '0');
let index = modifier.toLowerCase().indexOf('m');
let meridian = modifier.slice(index - 1);
hour = parseInt(hour);
if(hour === 12){
hour = 00;
}
if(meridian == 'PM'){
hour = hour + 12;
}
hour = hour.toString().padStart(2, '0');
let time24hr = `${hour}:${min}`;
return time24hr;
}
console.log(`Converted time: ${convertTo24HrsFormat(time)}`);
Solution 34 - Javascript
A well tested approach:
// example, s = 12:34:56PM
function timeConversion(s) {
let designator, clock, hhmmss, hh, mm, ss, mil; // declare variables
designator = s.slice(-2); // returns AM or PM
hhmmss = s.substring(0, s.length-2) // returns hh:mm:ss
clock = hhmmss.split(':'); // returns array of [hh,mm,ss]
hh = designator === 'AM'
? (parseInt(clock[0]) === 12 ? '00' : clock[0])
: (parseInt(clock[0]) === 12 ? '12' : parseInt(clock[0]) + 12);
mm = clock[1];
ss = clock[2];
mil = [hh,mm,ss].join(':').toString();
return mil
}

//here is my solution.
function timeConversion(s) {
// Write your code here
let amPM = s.indexOf('AM') !== -1 ? 'AM' : 'PM';
let tString = s.toString().replace(/AM|PM/gi,'');
let splitTime = tString.split(':');
let h = splitTime[0];
let m = splitTime[1];
let sec = splitTime[2];
let twntyfr = amPM === 'PM' && parseInt(h) !== 12 ? parseInt(h)+12 : h;
if(parseInt(twntyfr) === 12 && amPM === 'AM') twntyfr = '00';
return twntyfr+':'+m+':'+sec;
}

Because all the answers so far seem to be verbose, here's a simple minimalist solution:
/* Convert h:mm a/p to H:mm
* i.e. 12 hour time to 24 hour time
* @param {string} time - h:mm a/p format
* @returns {string} time in H:mm format
*/
function to24HrTime(time) {
let [hr, min, ap] = time.toLowerCase().match(/\d+|[a-z]+/g) || [];
return `${(hr % 12) + (ap == 'am'? 0 : 12)}:${min}`;
}
['9:02 am',
'9:02 pm',
'9:02am',
'9:02pm',
'12:15 AM',
'12:01 PM',
].forEach(time => console.log(`${time} -> ${to24HrTime(time)}`));
That assumes the input string has a suitable format and values. A more robust version is:
/* Given 12 hr time, return24 hr time
* @param {string} time - time in format h:mm am/pm
* h must be in range 1 to 12
* mm must be in range 00 to 59
* am/pm is not case sensitive
* @returns {string} time in 24 hr format H:mm
* H in range 0 to 23
* mm in range 00 to 59
*
*/
function to24HrTime(time = new Date().toLocaleString('en',{hour:'numeric', minute:'2-digit', hour12:true})) {
let [hr, min, ap] = String(time).toLowerCase().match(/\d+|[a-z]+/g) || [];
// If time is valid, return reformatted time
// Otherwise return undefined
return /^([1-9]|1[0-2]):[0-5]\d\s?(am|pm)/i.test(time)? `${(hr%12)+(ap=='am'?0:12)}:${min}` : void 0;
}
// Examples
// Without arguments
console.log(`No args -> ${to24HrTime()}`);
// Valid input
['9:02 am',
'9:02 pm',
'9:02am',
'9:02pm',
'12:15 AM',
'12:01 PM',
// Invalid input
'12', // Missing mins & ap
'99:05 am', // hrs out of range
'0:05 am', // hrs out of range
'9:60 am', // mins out of range
'9:09 pp', // ap out of range
{}, // Random object
].forEach(time => console.log(`${time} -> ${to24HrTime(time)}`));
