EDIT: @VincenzoC above provided what I personally think is the best practice. Check this answer only as an alternative to his.

Just do:

I you can't get rid of that string, just acquire hours and minutes by splitting:

let [hours, minutes] = '05:30'.split(':').map(Number);
console.log(hours);
console.log(minutes);
