[unix-timestamp] Getting current unixtimestamp using Moment.js

I want to get the Unix TimeStamp using Moment.js. I can find many functions which convert timestamp to date in moment.js. I know that I can easily get the unix timestamp by 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 any direct function in moment.js to get the current timestamp?

This question is related to unix-timestamp momentjs

The answer is


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

for UNIX time-stamp in milliseconds

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

for UNIX time-stamp in seconds moment().format('X') // capital X


For anyone who finds this page looking for unix timestamp w/ milliseconds, the documentation says

moment().valueOf()

or

+moment();

you can also get it through moment().format('x') (or .format('X') [capital X] for unix seconds with decimal milliseconds), but that will give you a string. Which moment.js won't actually parse back afterwards, unless you convert/cast it back to a number first.
