hour format in javascript

Question

hi guys, In my javascript iam using GetHour and GetMinutes function.For eg:Current Time is 2:03.If in this case i use GetHour(),it returns 2.Instead i need 02.Can anybody help?

Answer 1

var hour = GetHour() < 10 ? '0' + GetHour() : GetHour();

Answer 2

There is no function for that. Use the following to add a leading 0:

var date = new Date();
var hours = new String(date.getHours());

if (hours.length == 1)
{
  hours = "0" + hours;
}

Answer 3

There's a javascript library here which looks like it will handle all sorts of date conversions nicely, including formatting dates so that the month is always two digits.

Answer 4

If you use the Prototype framework there's a toPaddedString method that does this.

a = 2;
a.toPaddedString(2)
// results in "02"

Answer 5

The obvious answer is to use an IF statement...

var dat = new Date();
var hr = dat.getHour();

if(hr < 10) {
  hr = "0" + hr;
}
