For my instance i used it as a global and then called its for a time check of when hours of operation.

Below is from my index.js

global.globalDay = new Date().getDay(); 

global.globalHours = new Date().getHours();

To call the global's value from another file

    /*
     Days of the Week.
     Sunday = 0, Monday = 1, Tuesday = 2, Wensday = 3, Thursday = 4, Friday = 5, Saturday = 6

     Hours of the Day.
     0 = Midnight, 1 = 1am, 12 = Noon, 18 = 6pm, 23 = 11pm
     */

if (global.globalDay === 6 || global.globalDay === 0) {
     console.log('Its the weekend.');
} else if (global.globalDay > 0 && global.globalDay < 6 && global.globalHours > 8 && global.globalHours < 18) {
     console.log('During Business Hours!');
} else {
     console.log("Outside of Business hours!");
}

You should checkout the Date object   In particular  you can look at the getHours   method for the Date object   getHours   return the time from 0 - 23  so make sure to deal with it accordingly  I think 0-23 is a bit more intuitive since military time runs from 0 - 23  but it s up to you   With that in mind  the code would be something along the lines of   var date   new Date    var current hour   date getHours

Check out the moment js library  It works with browsers as well as with Node JS  Allows you to write  moment   hour      or  moment   hours      without prior writing of any functions

Both prior answers are definitely good solutions  If you re amenable to a library  I like moment js - it does a lot more than just getting formatting the date
