Data type specifically for time in mongoose

I just wanted to know is there any specific datatype for time or we have to use Date data type. Like i am creating an app where a chef will give total time the dish will take to be ready. Now i am creating a mongoose model.

cookTime: {
    type: Date,
    required: true,
  },

is there any way by which i can just store time like 10:50 pm instead of 2021-06-22T21:30:34.736+00:00.

Thanks in advance.

No, there is not for obvious reasons.

Types available out of the box are documented here https://mongoosejs.com/docs/schematypes.html#what-is-a-schematype

You can implement a custom type as described in https://mongoosejs.com/docs/schematypes.html#customtypes

It's not quite clear what type you expect on nodejs level but you are limited to one of bson types on the database level https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/bson-types/
