Sometimes, we want to create a UTC JavaScript date.
In this article, we’ll look at how to create a UTC JavaScript date.
How to create a UTC JavaScript date?
To create a UTC JavaScript date, we can use the Date.UTC
method.
For instance, we write:
const d = new Date(Date.UTC(2022, 10, 5));
console.log(d.toUTCString());
to call Date.UTC
to create a timestamp set to Nov 5, 2022 in UTC.
Then we convert that to a JavaScript date object with the Date
constructor.
Therefore, d.toUTCString
returns 'Sat, 05 Nov 2022 00:00:00 GMT'
.
Conclusion
To create a UTC JavaScript date, we can use the Date.UTC
method.
