Question

I\'m using Moment.js and Angular-moment in my app.

For some reason it\'s converting all

Answer 1

Try to write own filter, like this:

 newapp.filter("fromTimestamp", function(){
   return function(timestamp, format){
     return moment.unix(timestamp).format(format)
   }
 })

And use them

<p class="date">{{date | fromTimestamp:'ffffdd, MMMM Do YYYY'}}</p>

Answer 2

I'm just quickly summarizing the problem and solution.

Moment.js offers two different ways to create a date from a unix timestamp moment(1432252800) and moment.unix(1432252800).

Both start at the same time (Jan 1 1970 12AM UTC) but moment() uses the number as milliseconds, which are around 17 days and moment.unix() uses seconds.

angular-moment supports the amFromUnix filter, see source

You can use it the following way

<time am-time-ago="myDate|amFromUnix">
{{myDate|amFromUnix|amCalendar}}
