getMinutes Method (Date) (JavaScript)

JavaScript - Internet Explorer 10

Gets the minutes of a Date object, using local time.

dateObj.getMinutes() 

The required dateObj reference is a Date object.

Returns an integer between 0 and 59. Zero is returned the time is less than one minute after the hour. If a Date object was created without specifying the time, by default the minute value is 0.

The following example shows how to the getMinutes method.

var date = new Date("1/1/2001");
document.write(date.getMinutes());
document.write("<br/>");

date.setMinutes(5);
document.write(date.getMinutes());

// Output:
// 0
// 5
