getMinutes() 0-9 - How to display two digit numbers?

Question

var date = \"2012-01-18T16:03\";
var date = new Date(date);

console.log(date.getMinutes());
console.log(date.getMinutes().length)

This returns 3.

Answer 1

Numbers don't have a length, but you can easily convert the number to a string, check the length and then prepend the 0 if it's necessary:

var strMonth = '' + date.getMinutes();
if (strMonth.length == 1) {
  strMonth = '0' + strMonth;
}
