.setUTCMinutes()

The .setUTCMinutes() method changes the minutes of a Date instance according to universal time (UTC).

Syntax

setUTCMinutes(minutes)
setUTCMinutes(minutes, seconds)
setUTCMinutes(minutes, seconds, ms)

• minutes: An integer value between 0 and 59 representing the minutes.
• seconds: An integer value between 0 and 59 representing the seconds. If seconds is specified, minutes must also be specified.
• ms: An integer value between 0 and 999 representing the milliseconds. If ms is specified, minutes and seconds must also be specified.

If secondsand ms are not specified, the values returned from getUTCSeconds() and getUTCMilliseconds() methods are used.

The method changes the Date instance and returns the modified timestamp. If a parameter is NaN, the date is invalid and NaN is returned.

Example

In the following example, the .toUTCString() method converts a Date object to a string representation using the UTC timezone.

const date = new Date(Date.UTC(2023, 5, 23, 12, 34, 56)); // Year, Month , Day, Hour, Minute, Second
console.log('Before:', date.toUTCString()); // Before: Wed, 23 Jun 2023 12:34:56 GMT

date.setUTCMinutes(45);

console.log('After:', date.toUTCString()); // After: Wed, 23 Jun 2023 12:45:56 GMT

This example results in the following output.

Before: Wed, 23 Jun 2023 12:34:56 GMT
After: Wed, 23 Jun 2023 12:45:56 GMT
