getTime() method of the Date object, e.g. new Date().getTime().getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds since the Unix Epoch.const timestamp = new Date().getTime()
console.log(timestamp) // 1662916646151
The getTime() method returns the number of milliseconds elapsed between January 1st, 1970, at 00:00:00 UTC and the specific date.
