I need to convert backend-fetched data "17:00" to "5pm". Using moment I just do:
moment('17:00', ['HH']).format('h:mma')
How to achieve the same thing with Luxon? While moment allows to format times directly, it seems Luxon's format functions require a date (which I don't have).
Any suggestion?
DateTime.fromISO('17:00').toLocaleString(DateTime.TIME_SIMPLE) // 5:00 PM
DateTime.fromISO('17:00').toFormat('h:mma') // 5:00PM
DateTime.fromISO('17:00').toFormat('h:mm a') // 5:00 PM
couldn't figure out how to make meridiem lowercase though
https://github.com/moment/luxon/issues/224
EDIT if want in lowercase can do something like this
const DateTime = luxon.DateTime;
const dt = DateTime.fromISO('17:00')
const meridiem = (dt.hour > 11) ? 'p' : 'a'
const final = `${dt.toFormat('h:mm')}${meridiem}m`
console.log(final)<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/luxon/2.3.1/luxon.min.js"></script>UPDATE as Lukas H. mentioned in the comments an easier approach would be to use .toLowerCase()
const DateTime = luxon.DateTime;
const dt = DateTime.fromISO('17:00')
const final = dt.toFormat('h:mma').toLowerCase()
console.log(final)<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/luxon/2.3.1/luxon.min.js"></script>
