JavaScript Timestamp Helper

// Method 1: Date.now() (Recommended)
const timestamp = Date.now();
console.log(timestamp); // 1729584000000

// Method 2: new Date().getTime()
const timestamp2 = new Date().getTime();

// Method 3: +new Date()
const timestamp3 = +new Date();

// Divide by 1000 to get seconds
const timestampInSeconds = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
console.log(timestampInSeconds); // 1729584000

// Alternative using Date object
const secondsTimestamp = Math.floor(new Date().getTime() / 1000);

// From milliseconds
const date = new Date(1729584000000);
console.log(date); // 2024-10-22T01:20:00.000Z

// From seconds (multiply by 1000)
const dateFromSeconds = new Date(1729584000 * 1000);

// Get readable string
console.log(date.toLocaleString()); // "10/22/2024, 1:20:00 AM"
