To use in a controller you can do something like this:

myApp.controller('TimestampCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
  $scope.toTimestamp = function(date) {
    var dateSplitted = date.split('-'); // date must be in DD-MM-YYYY format
    var formattedDate = dateSplitted[1]+'/'+dateSplitted[0]+'/'+dateSplitted[2];
    return new Date(formattedDate).getTime();
  };
}]);

And can be used like this:

  The timestamp of  is {{ toTimestamp(date) }}
