Javascript – Convert times created by Javascript’s getTime() method to ruby Time objects

datetimejavascriptrubyruby-on-rails

Javascript's getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds since midnight of January 1, 1970.

How do I convert the output of getTime() to a Ruby Time object?

Best Answer

You can use the Time.at method, and divide the JavaScript timestamp value by 1000, since the at method, uses seconds instead of milliseconds, for example:

jsTime = 1252268867928
print Time.at(jsTime/1000)
# Sun Sep 06 20:27:47 +0000 2009

Javascript – Convert a Unix timestamp to time in JavaScript

let unix_timestamp = 1549312452
// Create a new JavaScript Date object based on the timestamp
// multiplied by 1000 so that the argument is in milliseconds, not seconds.
var date = new Date(unix_timestamp * 1000);
// Hours part from the timestamp
var hours = date.getHours();
// Minutes part from the timestamp
var minutes = "0" + date.getMinutes();
// Seconds part from the timestamp
var seconds = "0" + date.getSeconds();

// Will display time in 10:30:23 format
var formattedTime = hours + ':' + minutes.substr(-2) + ':' + seconds.substr(-2);

console.log(formattedTime);

For more information regarding the Date object, please refer to MDN or the ECMAScript 5 specification.
