Node.js Timestamp Format
To get the current timestamp in Node.js, you can use the Date.now()
method. Here's an explanation of the steps involved:
Create a new
Date
object using theDate
constructor:javascript const currentDate = new Date();
Use the
getTime()
method to get the current timestamp in milliseconds:javascript const timestamp = currentDate.getTime();
The getTime()
method returns the number of milliseconds that have passed since January 1, 1970.
Here's an example that combines these steps:
const currentDate = new Date();
const timestamp = currentDate.getTime();
console.log(timestamp);
This will output the current timestamp in milliseconds.
Please note that the timestamp obtained using this method is in milliseconds. If you need the timestamp in a different format, you can use various methods provided by the Date
object to extract specific components like year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.
