This function will return you the date and time in the following format  YYYY MM DD HH MM SS  It also works in Node js   function getDateTime          var date   new Date         var hour   date getHours        hour    hour  lt  10    0          hour       var min    date getMinutes        min    min  lt  10    0          min       var sec    date getSeconds        sec    sec  lt  10    0          sec       var year   date getFullYear         var month   date getMonth     1      month    month  lt  10    0          month       var day    date getDate        day    day  lt  10    0          day       return year         month         day         hour         min         sec

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

User · Answer

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
