I need correct time from `1609891200000` without using Moment

Question

var now = moment(1609891200000, "x").format('MMM DD h:mm A');
var x = new Date(1609891200000);
console.log(now); // Prints Jan 06 12:00 AM
console.log(x.toLocaleTimeString()); // Prints 05:30:00

I don't know why I keep getting 5:30 as time. I need a way to get the correct time i.e 12:00 AM without the use of Moment.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

You should provide a code of time zone, If there is no code, then it will provide by default

var date = new Date(Date.UTC(2012, 11, 12, 3, 0, 0));

// toLocaleTimeString() without arguments depends on the implementation,
// the default locale, and the default time zone
console.log(date.toLocaleTimeString());
// → "7:00:00 PM" if run in en-US locale with time zone America/Los_Angeles

Instead, you can use

var x = new Date(1609891200000);
x.toGMTString() // "Wed, 06 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT"
x.toUTCString() // "Wed, 06 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT"
x.toISOString() // "2021-01-06T00:00:00.000Z"
