How to return the current timestamp with Moment.js?

Question

Here you are assigning an instance of momentjs to CurrentDate:

var CurrentDate = moment();

Here just a string, the result from default formatting of a momentjs instance:

var CurrentDate = moment().format();

And here the number of seconds since january of... well, unix timestamp:

var CurrentDate = moment().unix();

And here another string as ISO 8601 (What's the difference between ISO 8601 and RFC 3339 Date Formats?):

var CurrentDate = moment().toISOString();

And this can be done too:

var a = moment();
var b = moment(a.toISOString());

console.log(a.isSame(b)); // true

moment().unix() you will get a unix timestamp (in seconds)

moment().valueOf() you will get a full timestamp (in milliseconds)

Still, no answer. Moment.js - Can do anything but such a simple task.

I'm using this:

moment().toDate().getTime()

Try to use it this way:

let current_time = moment().format("HH:mm")

If you just want the milliseconds since 01-JAN-1970, then you can use

var theMoment = moment(); // or whatever your moment instance is
var millis;

millis = +theMoment; // a short but not very readable form
// or
millis = theMoment.valueOf();
// or (almost sure not as efficient as above)
millis = theMoment.toDate().getTime();

Try this

console.log(moment().format("MM ddd, YYYY HH:mm:ss a"));

console.log(moment().format("MM ddd, YYYY hh:mm:ss a"));
