Working With Time is very common in all programming languages. In this tutorial I want to take you through the basics of dealing with dates and times in JavaScript and some code snippets that I commonly use in my flows. The key to working with time in JavaScript is the Date object. So the first thing you need to do is to get a date object. There are several ways of doing this but the most basic is: var d=new Date(); This creates a date object with the current date and time if you print it it looks like this. 2020-06-08T16:14:36.457Z However this is not the only way you can create a new Date object there are several other methods which you might find useful: new Date() new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds) new Date(milliseconds) new Date(date string) Example:.

However if you have data with a Unix time stamp then this will be seconds and not milliseconds. So to convert a Unix time stamp … Continue reading Working With Time- Node-Red Programming
