Getting current unixtimestamp using Moment.js

Question

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 usin

Answer 1

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.
