new Date('2012.08.10').getTime() / 1000

Check the JavaScript Date documentation.

You can do it using Date.parse() Method.

Date.parse($("#yourCustomDate).val())

Date.parse("03.03.2016") output-> 1456959600000

Date.parse("2015-12-12") output-> 1449878400000

Answer 4

convert timestamp to unix timestamp.

const date = 1513787412; const unixDate = new Date(date * 1000);// Dec 20 2020 (object)

to get the timeStamp after conversion const TimeStamp = new Date(date*1000).getTime(); //1513787412000

Answer 5

You can use Date.parse(), but the input formats that it accepts are implementation-dependent. However, if you can convert the date to ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD), most implementations should understand it.
