I have looked up how to remove seconds from javascript time fetch. I have checked the worldclock API website. I am not familiar with JS, so I dont know the right question to input into search. Here is my code, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction to remove seconds from the received output.
I want to go from HH:MM:SS to just HH:MM. I would appreciate any help. Thank you
window.onload = (ev => {
getTime().then();
});
let count = 0;
async function getTime(){
count+=1;
let data = await fetch('https://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/Etc/GMT+3');
let res = await data.json();
let result = res.datetime.toString();
let time = result.substring(11,19)
let digital_clock = document.getElementById('content')
digital_clock.innerHTML = time;
getTime().then();
console.log(count);
to uh... well, let's get to it.
Change this line:
let time = result.substring(11,19)
...to this line:
let time = result.substring(11,16)
What we're doing here is shortening the extracted string to include just hours and minutes.
You can convert the datetime to Date Object and then you have access to some methods. Afterwards you can build your own date what you wish.
fetch('https://worldtimeapi.org/api/timezone/Etc/GMT+3')
.then(data => data.json())
.then(data => {
const date = data.datetime
const res = {
year: new Date(date).getFullYear(),
month: new Date(date).getMonth() + 1,
day: new Date(date).getDate(),
hours: new Date(date).getHours(),
minutes: new Date(date).getMinutes()
}
console.log(res)
})
