Changing the 1-24 hour to 1-12 hour for the “getHours()” Method

Question

When I use the \"getHour()\" method in javascript, it displays the military time format. I need it to display the hour in numbers between 1-12 instead. Can anybody tell me

Answer 1

Shortest:

const hours12 = date => (date.getHours() % 12  || 12);

If you need padding with 0:

const hours12 = date => ("0"+(date.getHours() % 12  || 12)).slice(-2);

Another option, also with AM & PM:

const hours12 = date => date.toLocaleString('en-US', { hour: 'numeric', hour12: true })
