how to convert a string to a Unix timestamp in javascript?

Question

I want to convert a string \"2013-09-05 15:34:00\" into a Unix timestamp in javascript. Can any one tell how to do that? thanks.

Answer 1

For this you should check out the moment.s-library

Using that you could write something like:

newUnixTimeStamp = moment('2013-09-05 15:34:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss').unix();
