Can you use a library or would the solution have to be without one? – Coola Nov 06 '19 at 17:43

Do you mean `date = 59;`? – TKoL Nov 06 '19 at 17:43

`.getMinutes()` will give you the minute component only, not the date in minutes - *this is of no use to you for comparison*. eg 18:04 -> 04, 17:59 -> 59 - compare 04 with 59? – freedomn-m Nov 06 '19 at 17:54

Date manipulation is really rough in JS. If you can ensure the format is going to be exactly like that, you can do something like this:
var date_raw = "2019/11/06 22:59:50";
var date = new Date(date_raw);
var mm = date.getMinutes();
Otherwise, I suggest you look into moment.js if you need something more complex.
Edit: if you're just looking for help on subtracting time from a date object, that's already answered

If I understand what you want, in first place I would transform the date var into a Date object, like this: var date = new Date("2019/11/06 22:59:50");. Then I'd add a min var that would take the mm part of the date like this: var min = date.getMinutes();. That would do the job.
