How can I display the Epoch time in JavaScript?

Question

As you might know, you can display the time in JavaScript by doing Date() But can you display the Linux Epoch time in JavaScript?

I would like to know because I have a time converter and It would be nice to show the current Epoch time.

Answer 1

You have to use the .getTime() method of the Date object.

var d = new Date();
alert(d.getTime());

Epoch is also called timestamp .

Answer 2

简单明了。

 var milliseconds = new Date().getTime();

Answer 3

Older browsers:

(new Date).getTime()

New way:

Date.now()

Returns in milliseconds, so epoch / 1000 | 0 epoch / 1000 | 0 to get seconds.
