I have a variable in which I stored a date retrieved from the server. It looks something like this:
"draw_start_at": "2015-09-04T08:54:09.574Z"
I would like to just extract hours and minutes from here.
LimitTo
Using limitToyou can take your full string and just display some characters from it. Take a look at the full documentation here
HTML
{{ limitTo_expression | limitTo : limit : begin}}
JS
$filter('limitTo')(input, limit, begin)
Conclusion
This lets you specify a begining and end for the characters you wish to display, you can cut out all of the other things around and just be left with the hours.
{{currentdate | date}}and{{currentdate | 'hh:mm'}}, no changes.
