In this short article, we would like to show how to get unix timstamp in milliseconds in TypeScript.

Note: as unix timestamp in this article we understans bash date +%s%3N command result.

Quick solution:

const now: number = Date.now();

console.log(now); // Example output: 1648547761676

Reusable source code

const getTimestamp = (): number => {
    return Date.now();
};


// Usage example:

const now: number = getTimestamp();

console.log(now);

Example output:

1648547787253
