Answer 1

Using momentjs:

The following two variables have the same value:-

console.log(moment().format('X'))
console.log(moment.utc().format('X'))

Using Date() built-in:

console.log(new Date().getTime())   // including fractional seconds
console.log(Math.floor(new Date().getTime()/1000))    // up to seconds
