I am Trying to use Code to display a Message Depending on the Time of Day
Things i have tried do not work and before anyone says it I want to add a feel to my site and make it More Nice and This is one of the things i want to add

This should get a date with time:

const now = new Date()  
const secondsSinceEpoch = Math.round(now.getTime() / 1000)  
now.setUTCSeconds(secondsSinceEpoch);

I made an alert, and localstorage based message of the day display in pure JavaScript. Hopefully this works, because I didn’t test the code not even once.


function mathrandom(min, max) {
  min = Math.ceil(min);
  max = Math.floor(max);
  return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1)) + min;
} // Just math random function for easy use
var messages = [
  "Hello",
  "Hi",
  "Hey"
]; // Your all messages of the day
var day = new Date().getDate(); // Get day from date
if (localStorage.getItem("NextMessageOfTheDay") === null) { // Does next day exist?
  localStorage.setItem("NextMessageOfTheDay", (day + 1).toString()); // Create next day
  localStorage.setItem("MessageOfTheDay", messages[mathrandom(0, messages.length)]); // Generate message
  alert(localStorage.getItem("MessageOfTheDay")); // Display message
} else {
  if (day >= parseInt(localStorage.getItem("NextMessageOfTheDay"))) { // Is this next day?
    localStorage.setItem("NextMessageOfTheDay", (day + 1).toString()); // Create next day
    localStorage.setItem("MessageOfTheDay", messages[mathrandom(0, messages.length)]); // Generate message
    alert(localStorage.getItem("MessageOfTheDay")); // Display message
  } else { // If not next day, show the same message
    if (localStorage.getItem("MessageOfTheDay") === null) {} else { // If message exists
      alert(localStorage.getItem("MessageOfTheDay")); // Display message
    }
  }
}

If you need explanation for any part of this code, feel free to ask then.

Oh I just realized that you are talking about “time” of the “day”, not message of the day. I will modify the code then.

Do you want display completely random message, or you want random message but specifically for that time?

var hours = new Date().getHours();
if(hours >= 0 && hours < 12) {
    alert("Good Morning");
} else if(hours >= 12 && hours < 16) {
    alert("Good Afternoon");
} else if(hours >= 16 && hours < 21) {
    alert("Good Evening");
} else if(hours >= 21 && hours < 24) {
    alert("Good Night");
}

To do: Replace alert with your own way of displaying messages.
