How to I convert 5PM to javascript date object?

Question

I have a string like

"9:00:00 AM"

How do i convert it into a javascript datetime object?

Currently I am using bootstrap timepicker but the control passes the value back as string

Answer 1

I'm using moment.js for every date-time related parsing and formatting (also for Angular projects). Works like a charm. Give it a try. Should work for your case:

moment("9:00:00 AM", "HH:mm:SS A").toDate();

See

var d = moment("9:00:00 AM", "HH:mm:SS A").toDate();
d instanceof Date // -> true

Answer 2

new Date('2015-1-15 9:00:00 AM')
