Javascript equivalent of php's strtotime()?

Question

In PHP, you can easily convert an English textual datetime description into a proper date with strtotime().

Is there anything similar in Javascript?

Answer 1

Maybe you can exploit a sample function like :

function strtotime(date, addTime){
  let generatedTime=date.getTime();
  if(addTime.seconds) generatedTime+=1000*addTime.seconds; //check for additional seconds 
  if(addTime.minutes) generatedTime+=1000*60*addTime.minutes;//check for additional minutes 
  if(addTime.hours) generatedTime+=1000*60*60*addTime.hours;//check for additional hours 
  return new Date(generatedTime);
}

let futureDate = strtotime(new Date(), {
    hours: 1, //Adding one hour
    minutes: 45 //Adding fourty five minutes
  });
document.body.innerHTML = futureDate;
