TypeScript - convert unix timestamp to Date

In this article, we would like to show you how to convert unix timestamp to Date in TypeScript.

Quick solution:

const timestamp: number = 1630564245; // unix timestamp in seconds
const date: Date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);

console.log(date.toISOString()); // 2021-09-02T06:30:45.000Z

Practical example

In this example, we simply use the Date() constructor and pass timestamp as an argument to convert unix timestamp to the Date object.

const getDate = (timestamp: number): Date => {
  return new Date(timestamp * 1000);
};


// Usage example:

const timestamp: number = 1630564245; // unix timestamp in seconds
const date: Date = getDate(timestamp);

console.log(date.toISOString()); // 2021-09-02T06:30:45.000Z

Output:

2021-09-02T06:30:45.000Z
