How to return the current timestamp with Moment.js?

Question

Folks,

I am trying to understand the MomentJS API. What is the appropriate way to get the current time on the machine?

var CurrentDate = moment();
<         


        

Answer 1

To use am / pm with moment, here is a snippet from a react component

import Moment from 'moment';

const time = Moment().format("hh:mm a")

For reference please remember Moment.js is considered a legacy project that can carry performance overhead
