Convert new date to milliseconds
You can convert a new date to milliseconds using the following methods:
Method 1: Using the getTime()
method
const date = new Date(); // current date
const milliseconds = date.getTime();
console.log(milliseconds); // output: 1643723400000 (example value)
The getTime()
method returns the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC).
Method 2: Using the Date.now()
method
const milliseconds = Date.now();
console.log(milliseconds); // output: 1643723400000 (example value)
The Date.now()
method returns the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch.
Method 3: Using the setTime()
method and getTime()
method
const date = new Date();
date.setTime(date.getTime()); // set the date to the current time
const milliseconds = date.getTime();
console.log(milliseconds); // output: 1643723400000 (example value)
This method sets the date to the current time using setTime()
and then gets the milliseconds using getTime()
.
Note that the output value will be different each time you run the code, as it represents the current time in milliseconds.
