how to get am and pm in moment js?

Hi Friends 👋,

Welcome To Infinitbility! ❤️

To get am and pm in moment js, just use the moment().format() method by passing desire format string parameters with a at the end.

Just import moment in your file and invoke moment().format('hh:mm:ss a'); it will show the current time with am and pm.

moment().format('hh:mm:ss a')
