I'm trying to formulate an if/else condition with the following criteria using javaScript:
"Good Morning" if the time is between 5:45 am and 11:59:59 am "Good Afternoon" if the time is between 12:00 pm and 05:59:59 pm "Good Evening" if the time is between 6:00 pm and 5:44:59 am
You can use Date and get current hour with getHours function.
const d = new Date(); // get current date
const hour = d.getHours(); // get current hour
if (hour < 12)
console.log("good morning");
else if (hour < 16)
console.log("good afternoon");
else if (hour < 24)
console.log("good evening");
If you want to work with minutes too. you can use getMinutes function.
const d = new Date(); // get current date
const hour = d.getHours(); // get current hour
const minute = d.getMinutes(); // get current minute
if (hour < 12 && minute < 59)
console.log("good morning and time is hour:" + hour + " minute:" + minute);
else if (hour < 16)
console.log("good afternoon and time is hour:" + hour + " minute:" + minute);
else if (hour < 24)
console.log("good evening and time is hour:" + hour + " minute:" + minute);If you convert the time to date format you can use getHours:
var d = new Date();
var n = d.getHours();
See how to work with date and time:
