How to get the timestamp in JavaScript
The timestamp is the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970. It is also known as the Unix time.
We can get this value using methods of the JavaScript date object:
- Use the
valueOf()method (or+operator which invokes thevalueOf()method):
console.log(new Date().valueOf());
OR
console.log(+new Date());
- Use the
now()method. This way, aDateobject will not be created:
console.log(Date.now());
Example:
console.log(new Date().valueOf());console.log(+new Date());console.log(Date.now());
