Log Time from a Date

The timeFromDate function extracts and formats the time (hours:minutes:seconds) from a given Date object using the toTimeString method.

const timeFromDate = date => date.toTimeString().slice(0, 8);

// Example output: "14:23:45"
console.log(timeFromDate(new Date()));

It works by:

1. Converting the Date object to a string with toTimeString, which includes the full time representation.

2. Using slice(0, 8) to extract the first 8 characters, representing the time in HH:MM:SS format.

Use Cases:

• UI Time Display: Show the current time in a user-friendly format.

• Debugging: Log precise time information for events during debugging.

• Time Tracking: Record time data for timestamps or analytics.
