Times in TypeScript

In TypeScript, we can use the built-in Date object to handle dates, times, and timestamps. The Date object provides several methods to work with times. Here are some examples:

1. Get the current time:

const now = new Date(); // create a new Date object
console.log(now.getHours(), now.getMinutes(), now.getSeconds()); // output: current hours, minutes, and seconds

2. Set the time in a Date object:

const date = new Date();
date.setHours(12); // set hours to 12 pm
date.setMinutes(30); // set minutes to 30
console.log(date.getHours(), date.getMinutes()); // output: 12 30

3. Compare two dates:

const date1 = new Date('2021-01-01');
const date2 = new Date('2022-01-01');
if (date1.getTime() < date2.getTime()) {
  console.log('date1 is before date2');
} else if (date1.getTime() > date2.getTime()) {
  console.log('date1 is after date2');
} else {
  console.log('date1 is equal to date2');
}

4. Format a date as a string:

const date = new Date();
const formattedDate = ${date.getDate()}/${date.getMonth() + 1}/${date.getFullYear()} ${date.getHours()}:${date.getMinutes()}:${date.getSeconds()};
console.log(formattedDate); // output: current date and time in "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" format

These are just a few examples of how to work with dates and times in TypeScript using the Date object. There are many more methods available, such as getMilliseconds(), setMilliseconds(), getUTCDate(), setUTCDate(), and so on.
