How to set time with date in momentjs

for today's date with a different time:

moment(12, "HH")

Since this pops up in google results, moment now has a set(unit, value) function and you can achieve this by:

const hours = 15;
const minutes = 32;
var date = moment("1946-05-21").set("hour", hours).set("minute", minutes);

or as a combined function

var date = moment("1946-05-21").set({"hour": 15, "minute": 32});

Note: the set function requires the value to be Integer type

Moment.js does not provide a way to set the time of an existing moment through a string. Why not just concatenate the two:

var date = "2017-03-13";
var time = "18:00";

var timeAndDate = moment(date + ' ' + time);

console.log(timeAndDate);

Alternatively, you can use two Moment objects and use the getters and setters. Although a far more verbose option, it could be useful if you can't use concatenation:

let dateStr = '2017-03-13',
    timeStr = '18:00',
    date    = moment(dateStr),
    time    = moment(timeStr, 'HH:mm');

date.set({
    hour:   time.get('hour'),
    minute: time.get('minute'),
    second: time.get('second')
});

console.log(date);
