timestampify v0.0.1

timestampify

Converts a JavaScript date into a timestamp.

Basic Usage

By default a UTC timestamp in milliseconds is returned when a JavaScript data is passed in.

const timestampify = require('timestampify');
const myJavaScriptDate = new Date();

timestampify(myJavaScriptDate);  // 1487162378729 <-- This is in UTC

Convert to a Timezone

To get a timestamp in a given timezone, pass a timezone identifier as the second parameter. Any identifer that Moment.js Timezone accepts will work.

const timestampify = require('timestampify');
const myJavaScriptDate = new Date();

timestampify(myJavaScriptDate, 'Europe/Paris');  // 1487162394017
timestampify(myJavaScriptDate, 'Europe/London');  // 1487162398214

Get a Unix Timestamp (in seconds)

To get a timestamp in the UNIX format (i.e. in seconds, not milliseconds) pass in true as the third parameter.

const timestampify = require('timestampify');
const myJavaScriptDate = new Date();

timestampify(myJavaScriptDate, null, true);  // 1487162867 <-- This is a UNIX timestamp in UTC
