Looking for a JavaScript digital clock in 12-hour format? This code, written in pure vanilla JS, creates a sleek and stylish timepiece for your webpage. The script initializes variables for hours, minutes, seconds, and AM\/PM, displaying the current time<\/a> in a user-friendly format.<\/p>\n

The clock updates every second, ensuring real-time accuracy. Easily customizable, it’s perfect for adding a touch of functionality and elegance to your site.<\/p>\n

How to Create JavaScript Digital Clock With 12 Hour Format<\/h2>\n

1. In your HTML file, create a container where you want the clock to appear. For example:<\/p>\n

<div class='time'><\/div>\r\n<h1>This is what you are looking for.<\/h1>\r\n<h1>Pure Vanilla JS<\/h1><\/pre>\n
Feel free to customize the styling by adding additional HTML elements and classes.<\/p>\n
2. Apply the desired styles to your clock using the following CSS code. This example provides a simple dark theme, but you can customize it to match your website’s design:<\/p>\n
body {\r\n  background: black;\r\n}\r\n.time, h1 {\r\n  font-family: Helvetica;\r\n  font-size: 6em;\r\n  color: white;\r\n}<\/pre>\n
3. Now, add the JavaScript code to your file. Copy and paste the following script, which initializes variables for hours, minutes, seconds, and AM\/PM. The displayTime<\/code> function formats the time and continuously updates the clock every second.<\/p>\n
\/\/ A simple vanilla JS clock\r\n\r\n\/\/ Initilize variables for date, hour, minute, second, am or pm, and the final displayed time\r\nvar d, h, m, s, ampm, time;\r\n\r\n\/\/ Your clock!\r\nfunction displayTime() {\r\n  d = new Date();\r\n  h = d.getHours();\r\n  m = d.getMinutes();\r\n  s = d.getSeconds();\r\n  ampm = h >= 12 ? 'pm' : 'am';\r\n  h = h % 12;\r\n\r\n  \/\/ Adds zeros to single digit times\r\n  if (h <= 9) {\r\n    h = '0' + h;\r\n  }\r\n  if (m <= 9) {\r\n    m = '0' + m;\r\n  }\r\n  if (s <= 9) {\r\n    s = '0' + s;\r\n  }\r\n\r\n  \/\/ Assign time format to variable. If you want to change how time is displayed do it here\r\n  \/\/ Example time = h + \":\" + m;\r\n  time = h + \":\" + m + \":\" + s + \" \" + ampm;\r\n\r\n  \/\/ Print your clock to an element.\r\n  document.getElementsByClassName(\"time\")[0].innerHTML = time;\r\n\r\n  \/\/ Refreshes clock every second. If you're just using minutes change to 60000\r\n  setTimeout(displayTime, 1000);\r\n}\r\n\r\n\/\/ Run your baller clock!\r\ndisplayTime();<\/pre>\n
