Javascript to display the current date and time

Question

How to display the current date and time in JavaScript?

Answer 1

You can try this;

var date = new Date(),

    minutes = date.getMinutes().toString().length == 1 ? '0'+date.getMinutes() : date.getMinutes(),

    hours = date.getHours().toString().length == 1 ? '0'+date.getHours() : date.getHours(),

    ampm = date.getHours() >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am',

    months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec'],

    days = ['Sun','Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat'];

return days[date.getDay()]+' '+months[date.getMonth()]+' '+date.getDate()+' '+date.getFullYear()+' '+hours+':'+minutes+ampm;
