How can I get seconds since epoch in Javascript?

On Unix, I can run date \'+%s\' to get the amount of seconds since epoch. But I need to query that in a browser front-end, not back-end.

Is there a way

You wanted seconds since epoch

function seconds_since_epoch(){ return Math.floor( Date.now() / 1000 ) }
