Javascript Convert Date Time string to Epoch

Question

so I give up...been trying to do this all day;

I have a string that supplies a date and time in the format dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm (04/12/2012 07:00

Answer 1

i used this code to convert my string datetime to epoch

new Date(<datetime string>').getTime()

for example :

let epoch = new Date('2016-10-11').getTime()

Answer 2

My answer is to convert current time to epoch time using JavaScript

const currentDate = Math.floor(new Date() / 1000);

console.log(currentDate); //whatever value it will print you can check the same value to this website https://www.epochconverter.com/ to confirm.
