How to get am pm from the date time string using moment js

JavascriptMomentjs

Javascript Problem Overview

I have a string as Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 AM/PM and I have to convert this into a string like 11:00 AM/PM using moment js.

The problem here is that I am unable to get AM or PM from the date time string.

I am doing this:

moment(Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 AM, 'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm').format('hh:mm A')

and it is working fine as I am getting 11:00 AM but if the string has PM in it it is still giving AM in the output.

like this moment(Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 PM, 'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm').format('hh:mm A') is also giving 11:00 AM in output instead of 11:00 PM

Javascript Solutions

Solution 1 - Javascript

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') );

Solution 2 - Javascript

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'));

Solution 3 - Javascript

The previously mentioned answers are perfect. But there are some other ways also

console.log( moment('Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 PM', 'ddd DD-MMM-YYYY, hh:mm A').format('LT') );

11:00 PM

moment().format('LT');   // 5:50 PM
moment().format('LTS');  // 5:50:35 PM
moment().format('L');    // 18/02/2022
moment().format('l');    // 18/2/2022
moment().format('LL');   // 18 February 2022
moment().format('ll');   // 18 Feb 2022
moment().format('LLL');  // 18 February 2022 5:50 PM
moment().format('lll');  // 18 Feb 2022 5:50 PM
moment().format('LLLL'); // Friday, 18 February 2022 5:50 PM
moment().format('llll');
