How to get the current time as 13-digit integer in Ruby?

Question

I have this jQuery function that returns the current time as the number of milliseconds since the epoch (Jan 1, 1970):

time = new Date().getTime         


        

Answer 1

require 'date'

p DateTime.now.strftime('%s') # "1384526946" (seconds)
p DateTime.now.strftime('%Q') # "1384526946523" (milliseconds)
