How to get the time of day in JavaScript or Node.js?

To get the time of day in JavaScript or Node.js, we use the date’s getHour method.

For instance, we write

const date = new Date();
const currentHour = date.getHours();

to create a date object with the current date and time with the Date constructor.

And then we call getHours on it to get the current hour of the day.
