Here I am going to share one function I have used to change the date from 12 hours to 24 hours.Recently I want to store date into the database and to store date into the database, you need to have a particular format, you can’t save as 12 hours AM or PM.
So, I have displayed a date as 12 hours with AM or PM and then apply following function which convert 12 hours date into 24 hours.
Let’s understand the code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 | function convertDateTo24Hour(date){ var elem = date.split(' '); var stHour = stSplit[0]; var stMin = stSplit[1]; var stAmPm = elem[2]; var newhr = 0; var ampm = ''; var newtime = ''; //alert("hour:"+stHour+"\nmin:"+stMin+"\nampm:"+stAmPm); //see current values if (stAmPm=='PM') { if (stHour!=12) { stHour=stHour*1+12; } }else if(stAmPm=='AM' && stHour=='12'){ stHour = stHour -12; }else{ stHour=stHour; <strong> } </strong> return elem[0]+" "+stHour+':'+stMin; } |
That’s it. You can alert your date and check you get the right format of the date.
