I have a string as Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 AM/PM and I have to convert this into a string like 11:00 AM/PM using moment js.

The problem here is that I am unable to get AM or PM from the date time string.

I am doing this:

moment(Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 AM, 'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm').format('hh:mm A')

and it is working fine as I am getting 11:00 AM but if the string has PM in it it is still giving AM in the output.

like this moment(Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 PM, 'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm').format('hh:mm A') is also giving 11:00 AM in output instead of 11:00 PM

Convert the string to date using Date object

var myDate = new Date('Mon 03-Jul-2017, 06:00 PM');

working solution:

var myDate= new Date('Mon 03-Jul-2017, 06:00 PM');
var now = new Date();
console.log(moment(myDate).format('HH:mm')); // 24 hour format 
console.log(moment(myDate).format('hh:mm')); // 12 hour format
console.log(moment(myDate).format('hh:mm A'));
console.log(moment(myDate).format('hh:mm a'));
console.log("Now: " + moment(now).format('hh:mm A'));

The previously mentioned answers are perfect. But there are some other ways also

console.log( moment('Mon 03-Jul-2017, 11:00 PM', 'ddd DD-MMM-YYYY, hh:mm A').format('LT') );

11:00 PM

moment().format('LT');   // 5:50 PM
moment().format('LTS');  // 5:50:35 PM
moment().format('L');    // 18/02/2022
moment().format('l');    // 18/2/2022
moment().format('LL');   // 18 February 2022
moment().format('ll');   // 18 Feb 2022
moment().format('LLL');  // 18 February 2022 5:50 PM
moment().format('lll');  // 18 Feb 2022 5:50 PM
moment().format('LLLL'); // Friday, 18 February 2022 5:50 PM
moment().format('llll');
