how to use the gettime function from date-fns in javascript

To use the getTime function from date-fns, you first need to install the date-fns package. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

index.tsx
npm install date-fns

2 lines

Once the package is installed, you can import the getTime function and use it as follows:

index.tsx
import { getTime } from 'date-fns';

const date = new Date();
const timestamp = getTime(date);

console.log(timestamp); // returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC

7 lines

The getTime function takes a Date object as its argument and returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00 UTC (also known as the Unix Epoch). This value can be useful for comparing dates or measuring the time elapsed between two dates.

Note that the getTime function is equivalent to calling the valueOf method on a Date object.
