Answer 1

I assume you would need the value as string. You could use the code below. It will always return give you the two digit minutes as string.

var date = new Date(date);
var min = date.getMinutes();

if (min < 10) {
min = '0' + min;
} else {
min = min + '';
}
console.log(min);

Hope this helps.
