I was wondering if it is possible to remove the seconds group in a live clock made with JavaScript. Ive been tinkering with it for a while now and have not been successful so far. Any advice or guidance well be gratefully welcomed.
Here's what I'm working with...
function myClock() {
setTimeout(function() {
const date = new Date();
const timeOutput = date.toLocaleTimeString();
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = timeOutput;
myClock();
}, 1000)
}
myClock();<div id="demo"></div>You could just split your timeOutput and then grab the hour and minutes, like so:
function myClock() {
setTimeout(function() {
const date = new Date();
const dateString = date.toLocaleTimeString('en-GB', {hour12: false});
const split = dateString.split(":");
const hour = parseInt(split[0]);
const min = parseInt(split[1]);
const period = hour < 12 ? 'AM' : 'PM';
const timeOutput = hour + ':' + min + ' ' + period;
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = timeOutput;
myClock();
}, 1000)
}
myClock();<div id="demo"></div>
