As you can see, I have created a box on top of a web page. In this box, first, you can see the time, then you can see a text. During this time you will see the time in hours, minutes, and seconds. 

It has AM and PM options. I have already created a digital clock with the date. If you need to show the date with your time, you can see that design.

Create a digital clock using Javascript

Some HTML, some CSS, and 3-line JavaScript have been used for designing. The current time has been taken from your device using the newDate () method. newDate () is a JavaScript method that will take the current time from your device.

1: Basic structure of the clock

First, a box is created using the following HTML CSS. In this box, you can see all the information related to time.

<div class=”container”>
</div>

I designed the webpage with the code below and then designed the box. This box has no specific width height. This will determine the amount of content and the size of the padding.

* {
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
body {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
min-height: 100vh;
text-align: center;
background-color: #08798c;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
.container {
border-radius: 10px;
background: #f7f9f7;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 20px #282d28;
padding: 2rem 3rem 3rem 3rem;
color: #191414;
cursor: default;
}

Make a Digital Clock with Date using JavaScript

In this article, you will learn how to create Digital Clock with Date using JavaScript. Earlier I shared with you many more types of digital and analog clocks designs. This digital watch is made with a Glassmorphism design. 

Glassmorphism design is a very popular CSS effect that adds extraordinary beauty to any project. We all use digital watches. Making digital clocks from analog clocks is much easier. The time shown here will be taken from the device i.e. the time that will be on your device will be shown here. This time JavaScript’s newDate method is used to receive.

I fully explained how I took the time from the device to show in this project. There is no reason to worry if you are a beginner. Here I have shared step-by-step tutorials and given possible explanations of each line. As I said before you will see the date with this JavaScript digital clock. That means both time and date can be seen.

If you want to make this digital clock, you must have a basic idea about JavaScript HTML, and CSS. Below I have given a complete step-by-step tutorial on how I created this JavaScript Digital Clock with Date. As I said before it is made with the help of Glassmorphism design. In the case of Glassmorphism design, the background is somewhat transparent, meaning that the content in the background can be seen.

Digital Clock with Date using JavaScript

First, we created two colorful circles on the webpage. Here the background of the project(Digital Clock with Date using JavaScript) is almost transparent so the two colorful circles behind it can be seen somewhat clearly. First, a box was created to show the time here.

 Then I made another small box where the date will be shown. Arrangements have been made here to show the month, day, and year between the dates.

Hopefully, the demo above has helped you to know how it works. Above you will find the required source code. However, you can download the source code with the help of the button below the article.

First, we created two colorful circles using HTML and CSS. Then I made the basic design. After all, using JavaScript takes time from the device to make it work.

Step 1: Create two colorful circles

We have created two colorful circles on the webpage using the following HTML and CSS codes. I have created an area to see these. Those two circles can be seen in that area. 

<div class=”background”>
   <div class=”shape”></div>
   <div class=”shape”></div>
</div>
html {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
*, *:before, *:after {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  outline: none;
}
body {
  position: relative;
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  width: 100%;
    background-color: #080710;
  height: 100vh;
}
webpage

The width of that area: 430px and height: 520px. Here the height of the circles, the width 140px, and the border-radius helped to convert it into a circle.

.background{
    width: 430px;
    height: 520px;
    position: absolute;
    transform: translate(-50%,-50%);
    left: 50%;
    top: 50%;
}
.background .shape{
    height: 140px;
    width: 140px;
    position: absolute;
    border-radius: 50%;
}

 

 The following codes have been used to locate that circle. Different positions and background colors have been added for the two circles.

.shape:first-child{
    background: linear-gradient(
        #1845ad,
        #23a2f6
    );
    left: -80px;
    top: 70px;
}
.shape:last-child{
    background: linear-gradient(
        to right,
        #ff512f,
        #f09819
    );
    right: -80px;
    bottom: 80px;
}
Create two colorful circles

Javascript Analog Clock Tutorial For Beginners

In this article, I am going to show you how to create an analog clock using HTML CSS, and JavaScript code. In the meantime, I have designed many more types of analog and digital clocks. Here I have explained in full detail how I made it. So if you are a beginner then this tutorial will help you completely.

 At different times we see JavaScript clocks on websites or applications. This is an important JavaScript project. Which you can easily build if you have an idea about basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In the case of digital clocks, we see time digitally. 

However, in the case of analog clocks, there are three hands that indicate the time in hours, minutes, and seconds. Below I have given a live demo of it which will help you to know how it works. Here you will find the required source code which you can copy and use in your own work.

Hopefully, the demo above has satisfied you a lot. The time used for this watch is taken from your device. First, it will receive the current time from your device. Then the time will be converted to degrees and the hands will continue to rotate. It will take time from your device once and then update that time every second.

As you can see above I have taken the help of Neumorphism design to make this analog watch here. You can also use this design if you want to make an analog watch of Neumorphism design. Here we have created a circle on everyone’s first web page. Then I made a mark from 1 to 12 using a transparent image here. 

Basically, this 1 to 12 sign is very important to indicate time. Here I have used images to make these symbols. But you can make it manually if you want. In the other designs I have already made, I have manually created these symbols or numbers with the help of HTML and CSS code. Since I am making Javascript Analog Clock Tutorial for beginners, I have designed it easily using an image here.

 Then I made three hands using HTML and CSS code. Later I implemented these hands with the help of JavaScript. As I said above it does not show the time of any server. It basically takes time for the device to update it.

Javascript Analog Clock Tutorial For Beginners

 Below I have shown you in full step by step how you can make this design using HTML CSS and JavaScript. HTML and CSS code was used to design this analog clock, and JavaScript enabled it.

Step 1: Basic design of webpage with CSS

Below I have used some amount of CSS code to design the webpage. Here the background color of the web page I have used is white and the mini-height: 100 vh.

*{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    box-sizing: border-box;
}
body{
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    min-height: 100vh;
    background: #ebf5fa;
}

Simple Digital Clock using javascript

Simple Digital Clock Javascript is a great UI design. You can create this kind of digital clock with the help of basic HTML, CSS, and javascript.

In this article, I am going to show you how to create a simple digital clock using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. I have shown many more types of analog and digital clocks before. In the meantime, I have made more such clocks where I have added dates and months along with time.

 We know that clocks are both analog and digital. Digital watches are much easier to make than analog watches. If you know basic HTML and CSS JavaScript you can easily create such a design. This is basically the role of JavaScript code. HTML and CSS have also been used to design and structure.

 This clock has the opportunity to view hours, minutes, and seconds. There are also AM and PM options.

Video Tutorial of Simple Digital Clock Javascript

 If you want to know how it is made, you can watch the video tutorial below. In this video, I have shown step by step how I made this Simple Digital Clock using HTML, CSS, and javascript code.

Hopefully, you have learned from the above video tutorial how I made this digital clock. I made a small box on a web page as you saw in the video above. 

I used black as the background color of the box and used a border all around to make it brighter. Then I made this clock work using JavaScript code.

First I took the current time from the device using JavaScript’s new Date () method. Then I updated it every one second or 1000 milliseconds using setTimeout. Use the demo section below to see a live experience of how this works.
