The setHours()
method of Date
instances changes the hours, minutes, seconds, and/or milliseconds for this date according to local time.
const event = new Date("August 19, 1975 23:15:30");
event.setHours(20);
console.log(event);
// Expected output: "Tue Aug 19 1975 20:15:30 GMT+0200 (CEST)"
// Note: your timezone may vary
event.setHours(20, 21, 22);
console.log(event);
// Expected output: "Tue Aug 19 1975 20:21:22 GMT+0200 (CEST)"
Syntax
setHours(hoursValue)
setHours(hoursValue, minutesValue)
setHours(hoursValue, minutesValue, secondsValue)
setHours(hoursValue, minutesValue, secondsValue, msValue)
Parameters
hoursValue
An integer between 0 and 23 representing the hours.
minutesValue
Optional
An integer between 0 and 59 representing the minutes.
secondsValue
Optional
An integer between 0 and 59 representing the seconds. If you specify secondsValue
, you must also specify minutesValue
.
msValue
Optional
An integer between 0 and 999 representing the milliseconds. If you specify msValue
, you must also specify minutesValue
and secondsValue
.
Changes the Date
object in place, and returns its new timestamp. If a parameter is NaN
(or other values that get coerced to NaN
, such as undefined
), the date is set to Invalid Date and NaN
is returned.
If you do not specify the minutesValue
, secondsValue
, and msValue
parameters, the same values as what are returned by getMinutes()
, getSeconds()
, and getMilliseconds()
are used.
If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, other parameters and the date information in the Date
object are updated accordingly. For example, if you specify 100 for secondsValue
, the minutes are incremented by 1 (minutesValue + 1
), and 40 is used for seconds.
const theBigDay = new Date();
theBigDay.setHours(7);
