1/1/2000 20:00:00 only the time - Javascript

Question

I have this date and time format 1/1/2000 20:00:00 and would like to only get the time in this form 20:00 PM or 08:00 AM

How can I format it as hh:mm a to my date?

I get it this way:

var momentDate = moment($scope.workshop.hour, 'YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss');
var jsDate = momentDate.toDate();
jsDate.toLocaleString();

`var time = "1/1/2000 20:00:00".split(" ")[1].substring(0,5)` — mplungjan, Jan 14 '19 at 21:07
Why not just use the Moment `.format()` method with a format that only includes the time of day? — Pointy, Jan 14 '19 at 21:11
Also in `20:00 PM` the AM/PM is redundant; there's no `20:00 AM`. — Pointy, Jan 14 '19 at 21:12
Why do you use `toDate` and `toLocaleString` instead using the [.format()](https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/) of momentjs? — t.niese, Jan 14 '19 at 21:13

Try format with HH:mm A as an argument. The A argument will display capital AM or PM as appropriate. Here's an example to get the current time into that format.

var date = new Date()
var momentDate = moment(date);
momentDate.format('HH:mm A')

The OP wants the *time of day*, not month-day-year. – Pointy Jan 14 '19 at 21:20
