Getting current unixtimestamp using Moment.js

Question

I want to get Unix TimeStamp using Moment.js. I can find many functions that convert a timestamp to a date in moment.js. I know that I can easily get the Unix timestamp using the following JavaScript function: Math.floor(new Date().getTime()/1000) .

But I want to use Moment.js to get the same result. Is there a direct function in moment.js to get the current timestamp?

Answer 1

To find the Unix timestamp in seconds:

 moment().unix() 

Documentation is your friend. :)

Answer 2

For those who find this page looking for a Unix millisecond timestamp, the documentation reads:

 moment().valueOf() 

or

 +moment(); 

you can also get it with moment().format('x') (or .format('X') [uppercase X] for unix seconds with decimal milliseconds), but this will give you a string. What moment .js will not actually be parsed afterwards unless you first convert / cast it back to a number.

Answer 3

for UNIX timestamps in milliseconds

moment().format('x') // lowerCase x

for UNIX timestamp in seconds moment().format('X') // capital X

Answer 4

Try any of these

 valof = moment().valueOf(); // xxxxxxxxxxxxx getTime = moment().toDate().getTime(); // xxxxxxxxxxxxx unixTime = moment().unix(); // xxxxxxxxxx formatTimex = moment().format('x'); // xxxxxxxxxx unixFormatX = moment().format('X'); // xxxxxxxxxx
