Temporal.Now.plainTimeISO()

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.

The Temporal.Now.plainTimeISO() static method returns the current time as a Temporal.PlainTime object, in the specified time zone.

Note that although the method contains "ISO" in its name, Temporal.PlainTime objects do not have associated calendars, as the time format is not calendar-dependent.

Syntax

Temporal.Now.plainTimeISO()
Temporal.Now.plainTimeISO(timeZone)

Parameters

timeZone Optional: Either a string or a Temporal.ZonedDateTime instance representing the time zone to interpret the system time in. If a Temporal.ZonedDateTime instance, its time zone is used. If a string, it can be a named time zone identifier, an offset time zone identifier, or a date-time string containing a time zone identifier or an offset (see time zones and offsets for more information).

Return value

The current time in the specified time zone, as a Temporal.PlainTime object. Has the same precision as Temporal.Now.instant().

Exceptions

RangeError: Thrown if the time zone is invalid.

Examples

Using Temporal.Now.plainTimeISO()

// The current time in the system's time zone
const time = Temporal.Now.plainTimeISO();
console.log(time); // e.g.: 06:12:34.567890123

// The current time in the "America/New_York" time zone
const timeInNewYork = Temporal.Now.plainTimeISO("America/New_York");
console.log(timeInNewYork); // e.g.: 23:12:34.567890123
