Code Overview

App.js

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import './App.css';

function App() {
  const [time, setTime] = useState(new Date());

  useEffect(() => {
    const intervalId = setInterval(() => {
      setTime(new Date());
    }, 1000);

    return () => {
      clearInterval(intervalId);
    };
  }, []);

  function formatTime(time) {
    let hours = time.getHours();
    let minutes = time.getMinutes();
    let seconds = time.getSeconds();
    let meridiem = hours >= 12 ? "PM" : "AM";

    hours = hours % 12 || 12; // Convert to 12-hour format
    hours = hours < 10 ? "0" + hours : hours;
    minutes = minutes < 10 ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
    seconds = seconds < 10 ? "0" + seconds : seconds;

    return `${hours} : ${minutes} : ${seconds} ${meridiem}`;
  }

  return (
    <>
      <div className="clock-container">
        <div className="clock">
          <span>{formatTime(time)}</span>
        </div>
      </div>
    </>
