Hi Friends 👋,

Welcome to Infinitbility ❤️!

Today, we are going to learn How to convert date to milliseconds in typescript?, here we will use the date built-in method getTime() to get a date in milliseconds.

Intro to getTime()

The getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds since the ECMAScript epoch.

A number representing the milliseconds elapsed between 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC and the given date.

Code summary

Here, we will see what we are going to do:

  1. Get the current date and store variable
  2. Use getTime() method
  3. Print date converted milliseconds value

Code example

// Get current date and store variable
const date = new Date();

// Use `getTime()` method
const milliseconds = date.getTime();

// Print date converted milliseconds value 
console.log(milliseconds);

Code output

When you run the above code, you will get the date convert in milliseconds example output. For now, let’s check the output.
