To get the current time in JavaScript, you can use the Date
object and its getTime
method:
let currentTime = new Date().getTime();
This will give you the current time in milliseconds since the Unix epoch (midnight on January 1, 1970).
If you want to get the current time in a specific format, you can use the toLocaleTimeString
method of the Date
object:
let currentTime = new Date().toLocaleTimeString();
This will give you a string representation of the current time in the user’s local time zone, using the browser’s default time format.
You can also specify a custom time format by passing a format string as an argument to the toLocaleTimeString
method:
let currentTime = new Date().toLocaleTimeString('en-US', {hour: '2-digit', minute: '2-digit'});
This will give you a string representation of the current time in the format “hh:mm” (e.g., “09:30”).

object and its methods in the documentation:
