The setMinutes() method of Date instances changes the minutes for this date according to local time.
Syntax
setMinutes(minutesValue)
setMinutes(minutesValue, secondsValue)
setMinutes(minutesValue, secondsValue, msValue)
Parameters
minutesValue- : An integer between 0 and 59 representing the minutes.
secondsValue- : An integer between 0 and 59 representing the seconds. If you specify
secondsValue, you must also specifyminutesValue.
- : An integer between 0 and 59 representing the seconds. If you specify
msValue- : An integer between 0 and 999 representing the milliseconds. If you specify
msValue, you must also specifyminutesValueandsecondsValue.
- : An integer between 0 and 999 representing the milliseconds. If you specify
Return value
Changes the Date object in place, and returns its new timestamp. If a parameter is NaN (or other values that get coerced to NaN, such as undefined), the date is set to Invalid Date and NaN is returned.
Description
If you do not specify the secondsValue and msValue parameters, the same values as what are returned by getSeconds() and getMilliseconds() are used.
If a parameter you specify is outside of the expected range, other parameters and the date information in the Date object are updated accordingly. For example, if you specify 100 for secondsValue, the minutes is incremented by 1 (minutesValue + 1), and 40 is used for seconds.
Examples
Using setMinutes()
const theBigDay = new Date();
theBigDay.setMinutes(45);
