[removed] convert 24-hour time-of-day string to 12-hour time with AM/PM and no timezone

Question

The server is sending a string in this format: 18:00:00. This is a time-of-day value independent of any date. How to convert it to 6:00PM in Javasc

Answer 1

toLocaleTimeString() makes this very simple. There is no need to do this yourself anymore. You'll be happier and live longer if you don't attack dates with string methods.

const timeString = '18:00:00'
// Append any date. Use your birthday.
const timeString12hr = new Date('1970-01-01T' + timeString + 'Z')
  .toLocaleTimeString({},
    {timeZone:'UTC',hour12:true,hour:'numeric',minute:'numeric'}
  );
document.getElementById('myTime').innerText = timeString12hr
