Yikes these answers aren t great  even the top post upticked  Here y go  cross-browser and cleaner int string conversion  Plus my advice is don t use a variable name  date  with code like date   Date      where you re relying heavily on language case sensitivity  it works  but risky when you re working with server browser code in different languages with different rules   So assuming the javascript Date in a var current date   mins     0  current date getMinutes    slice -2     The technique is take the rightmost 2 characters  slice -2   of  0  prepended onto the string value of getMinutes    So    0   12  - gt   012  slice -2  - gt   12    and   0   1  - gt   01  slice -2  - gt   01

length is undefined because getMinutes is returning a number  not a string  numbers don t have a length property   You could do  var m        date getMinutes     to make it a string  then check the length  you would want to check for length     1  not 0

User · Answer

you should check if it is less than 10    not looking for the length of it   because this is a number and not a string

I usually use this piece of code    var start   new Date timestamp       startMinutes   start getMinutes    lt  10    0    start getMinutes     start getMinutes      It is quite similar to the  ogur accepted answer but does not concatenate an empty string in the case that 0 is not needed  Not sure it is better  Just an other way to do it

Another short way is to fill the minutes with a leading zero using    String date getMinutes    padStart 2   0      Meaning  Make the string two chars long  if a char is missing then set 0 at this position    See docs at str padStart targetLength  padString
