How to use Moment.JS to check whether the current time is between 2 times

Question

Say the current time is 09:34:00 (hh:mm:ss), and I have two other times in two variables:

var beforeTime = \'08:34:00\',
    afterT         


        

Answer 1

I had to use isBetween and isSame in my case to cover the before and after time I used in the isBetween condition.

function getTimeCategory(time) {
  let timeCategory = '';
  const timeFormat = 'HH:mm:ss';

  if (
    time.isBetween(moment('00:00:00', timeFormat), moment('04:59:59', timeFormat)) ||
    time.isSame(moment('00:00:00', timeFormat)) ||
    time.isSame(moment('04:59:59', timeFormat))
  ) {
    timeCategory = 'DAWN';
  } else if (
    time.isBetween(moment('05:00:00', timeFormat), moment('11:59:59', timeFormat)) ||
    time.isSame(moment('05:00:00', timeFormat)) ||
    time.isSame(moment('11:59:59', timeFormat))
  ) {
    timeCategory = 'MORNING';
  } else if (
    time.isBetween(moment('12:00:00', timeFormat), moment('16:59:59', timeFormat)) ||
    time.isSame(moment('12:00:00', timeFormat)) ||
    time.isSame(moment('16:59:59', timeFormat))
  ) {
    timeCategory = 'NOON';
  } else if (
    time.isBetween(moment('17:00:00', timeFormat), moment('23:59:59', timeFormat)) ||
    time.isSame(moment('17:00:00', timeFormat)) ||
    time.isSame(moment('23:59:59', timeFormat))
  ) {
    timeCategory = 'NIGHT';
  }

  return timeCategory;
}
