How to convert timestamp to human readable format with JavaScript?
To convert timestamp to human readable format with JavaScript, we can use the date’s setTime method.
For instance, we write
const newDate = new Date();
newDate.setTime(unixtime * 1000);
const dateString = newDate.toUTCString();
to create a Date object.
Then we call setTime with unixtime * 1000 to set the timestamp of newDate to unixtime * 1000.
unixtime is the timestamp of the date in seconds.
then we call toUTCString to return a human readable date string from newDate.
Conclusion
