You already have this format. The format is `YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm` for all three values. — jabaa, Oct 28 '21 at 08:40
@jabaa now I want instead of getting the current hour and minute, I want to set it to 00:00 — deskeay, Oct 28 '21 at 08:43
That's not a different format. That's a different value. Because of the wrong wording a wrong duplicate was linked. — jabaa, Oct 28 '21 at 08:43
@jabaa Is there a simpler way to get the current date and time? — deskeay, Oct 28 '21 at 08:45
What you want is `date.setUTCHours(0,0,0,0);` and `date.setUTCHours(23,59,59,999);` — BTL, Oct 28 '21 at 08:46
You can use string operations to add the time: `console.log(format + ' 00:00');` and `console.log(format + ' 23:59');` — jabaa, Oct 29 '21 at 08:00

If I understand correctly, you want to get the first and last minute of today? You can use:

var date = new Date();
console.log(date); // result: 2021-10-28 15:31

date.setHours(0);
date.setMinutes(0);
date.setSeconds(0);
console.log(date); // result: 2021-10-28 00:00

date.setHours(23);
date.setMinutes(59);
date.setSeconds(59);
console.log(date); // result: 2021-10-28 23:59
