Javascript parsing Times without Date

Question

I need to parse and manipulate Times without Dates in my code. For example i might get the string \"15:00\" from a timepicker. I want to turn this into a Time object of some

Answer 1

I had to do this recently for a project but didnt really need to include moment.js, the method I used was to manually parse the time like this:

function parseTime(time) {    
    let timeInt = parseInt(time);
    let minutes = time.substring(3,5);

    // you could then add or subtract time here as needed

    if(time > '12:00') {
         return `${timeInt - 12}:${minutes} PM`;
    } else {
         return `${timeInt}:${minutes} AM`;
    }
}

Use this as an alternative starter if you don't want to use moment. Note this example uses es6 syntax.
