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?

Solution 1:

To find the Unix Timestamp in seconds:

moment().unix()

The documentation is your friend. :)

Solution 2:

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.

NOTE: This answer continues to get +1s, which is nice, but Moment has been depreciated, and alternatives like Luxon or date-fns are suggested. See: https://momentjs.com/docs/#/-project-status

Solution 3:

for UNIX time-stamp in milliseconds

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

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

Solution 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
