MomentJS getting JavaScript Date in UTC

Question

I am not able to get the JavaScript Date string for MongoDB record via the following. It keeps using my local time.

var utc = moment.utc().valueOf();
console         


        

Answer 1

Or simply:

Date.now

From MDN documentation:

The Date.now() method returns the number of milliseconds elapsed since January 1, 1970

Available since ECMAScript 5.1

It's the same as was mentioned above (new Date().getTime()), but more shortcutted version.
