I need to convert a date in format eg. 2011-01-02 to a unix timestamp in JavaScript but do not exactly know how to accomplish it. I can get the current timestamp using the following functions Math.round((new Date()).getTime() / 1000); but do not know how to convert the given date to a unix timestamp?

The UNIX timestamp is defined as the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 UTC. In JavaScript, in order to get the current timestamp, you can use Date. now() . It's important to note that Date. now() will return the number of milliseconds since January, 1 1970 UTC.
The moment(). unix() function is used to get the number of seconds since the Unix Epoch.
Unix is an operating system originally developed in the 1960s. Unix time is a way of representing a timestamp by representing the time as the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970 at 00:00:00 UTC.
Convert date to timestamp Select a blank cell, suppose Cell C2, and type this formula =(C2-DATE(1970,1,1))*86400 into it and press Enter key, if you need, you can apply a range with this formula by dragging the autofill handle. Now a range of date cells have been converted to Unix timestamps.
You can write new Date("2011-01-02").getTime() / 1000
