Last updated 6 years ago

The toTimeString() method returns the time portion of a Date object in human readable form in American English.

var event = new Date('August 19, 1975 23:15:30');

console.log(event.toTimeString());
// expected output: 23:15:30 GMT+0200 (CEST)
// (note: your timezone may vary)

Syntax

dateObj.toTimeString()

Return value

A string representing the time portion of the given date in human readable form in American English.

Description

instances refer to a specific point in time. Calling will return the date formatted in a human readable form in American English. In , this consists of the date portion (day, month, and year) followed by the time portion (hours, minutes, seconds, and time zone). Sometimes it is desirable to obtain a string of the time portion; such a thing can be accomplished with the toTimeString() method.

The toTimeString() method is especially useful because compliant engines implementing may differ in the string obtained from for objects, as the format is implementation-dependent; simple string slicing approaches may not produce consistent results across multiple engines.

Examples

A basic usage of toTimeString()

var d = new Date(1993, 6, 28, 14, 39, 7);

console.log(d.toString());     // Wed Jul 28 1993 14:39:07 GMT-0600 (PDT)
console.log(d.toTimeString()); // 14:39:07 GMT-0600 (PDT)
