Convert current time to milliseconds using moment












1














Suppose I have this time



'2018-08-03T15:53:57.000Z'


I need to convert only the time part to milliseconds



I tried this but didn't work and throws error



moment.utc("2018-08-03T15:53:57.000Z").format('HH:mm:ss').milliseconds()


Error



TypeError: (0 , _moment2.default)(...).format(...).milliseconds is not a function


Can someone please help how can I convert only time to millisecond?



Thank you!!!

    So the Z in 15:53:57.000Z is not used at all? If you do new Date('2018-08-03T15:53:57.000Z') you'll likely get a different time unless you happen to be in the UK.

No need to use moment to do this. The date string can be parsed sufficiently by vanilla JS.



var date = new Date('2018-08-03T15:53:57.000Z');


And to get the timestamp (in milliseconds) of this date;



var millis = date.getTime();


And, since there are 86400 seconds in a day (24*60*60) there are 86,400,000 milliseconds and we can use the remainder after divission by this number to get the number of milliseconds the time portion represents.



var millisToday = millis % 8640000;


UPDATE



Now using getTime() instead of valueOf() as it is the "proper" way to get the timestamp of the Date object.

I'll add my answer in case I got it wrong then someone can comment.



If I send new Date().toISOString() to someone in a different time zone then the time will differ for this person. If I ask that person to have a skype call at 13:00 their time it could mean it's 18:00 my local time.



So if the person sending me the date string is from the UK and sends me ...T13:00.000Z That actually means 18:00 for me.



Here is how you can correctly get the time in milliseconds from your midnight of the date converted to your local time:






const date = new Date(2007, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2).toISOString();
console.log('date:',date);
console.log('date in your local time:',new Date(date).toString());
const millisecondsFromMidNight = (date) => {
var dateObject = new Date(date);
return (
dateObject.getTime() -
new Date(
dateObject.getFullYear(),
dateObject.getMonth(),
dateObject.getDate(),
0,
0,
0,
0,
).getTime()
);
};
console.log(millisecondsFromMidNight(date));





Example where DST goes in effect:






var minutesFromMidnight = (date) => {
var dateObject = new Date(date);
console.log('date:', date);
console.log(
'date in your local time:',
dateObject.toString(),
);
return (
dateObject.getTime() -
new Date(
dateObject.getFullYear(),
dateObject.getMonth(),
dateObject.getDate(),
0,
0,
0,
0,
).getTime()
);
};

console.log(
minutesFromMidnight('2018-10-28T00:59:00.000Z') / 60000,
);
console.log(
minutesFromMidnight('2018-10-28T01:01:00.000Z') / 60000,
);

  • This will likely fail if there is a change in daylight savings on the date in question. e.g. in the UK, on 25 March 2018 at 01:00 daylight savings began so the time is then 2018-03-25T02:00:00+01:00 but midnight was 2018-03-25T00:00:00+00:00. Although it is only one hour since midnight, i believe your answer will count 2. Don't know if that's a level of detail beyond what OP wants though!

Simply do this if you want to get the milliseconds:



const ms = moment.utc("2018-08-03T15:53:57.000Z").valueOf()

    0














    The function is moment().milliseconds()



    Not format().milliseconds

      • This will likely fail if there is a change in daylight savings on the date in question. e.g. in the UK, on 25 March 2018 at 01:00 daylight savings began so the time is then 2018-03-25T02:00:00+01:00 but midnight was 2018-03-25T00:00:00+00:00. Although it is only one hour since midnight, i believe your answer will count 2. Don't know if that's a level of detail beyond what OP wants though!

      • @phuzi I have added an example minutes from midnight with one value in DST and one 2 minutes later out of DST (western Europe) and it works correctly.

      I'll add my answer in case I got it wrong then someone can comment.



      If I send new Date().toISOString() to someone in a different time zone then the time will differ for this person. If I ask that person to have a skype call at 13:00 their time it could mean it's 18:00 my local time.



      So if the person sending me the date string is from the UK and sends me ...T13:00.000Z That actually means 18:00 for me.



      Here is how you can correctly get the time in milliseconds from your midnight of the date converted to your local time:






      const date = new Date(2007, 1, 1, 0, 0, 2).toISOString();
      console.log('date:',date);
      console.log('date in your local time:',new Date(date).toString());
      const millisecondsFromMidNight = (date) => {
      var dateObject = new Date(date);
      return (
      dateObject.getTime() -
      new Date(
      dateObject.getFullYear(),
      dateObject.getMonth(),
      dateObject.getDate(),
      0,
      0,
      0,
      0,
      ).getTime()
      );
      };
      console.log(millisecondsFromMidNight(date));





      Example where DST goes in effect:






      var minutesFromMidnight = (date) => {
      var dateObject = new Date(date);
      console.log('date:', date);
      console.log(
      'date in your local time:',
      dateObject.toString(),
      );
      return (
      dateObject.getTime() -
      new Date(
      dateObject.getFullYear(),
      dateObject.getMonth(),
      dateObject.getDate(),
      0,
      0,
      0,
      0,
      ).getTime()
      );
      };

      console.log(
      minutesFromMidnight('2018-10-28T00:59:00.000Z') / 60000,
      );
      console.log(
      minutesFromMidnight('2018-10-28T01:01:00.000Z') / 60000,
      );
