Folks, I am unable to get the UTC timestamp using the momentjs. Hope someone can point me in the right direction
var start = Date.now();
var utc = moment.utc(start).toDate();
or
var utc = moment.utc().toDate();
Tue Nov 11 2014 13:45:13 GMT-0500 (EST)
Returns the EST timezone I am in, not UTC. How do i get the Javascript Date in UTC?
If I do
var utc= moment.utc();
console.log(utc);
output is
{ _useUTC: true,
_isUTC: true,
_l: undefined,
_i: undefined,
_f: undefined,
_d: Tue Nov 11 2014 13:43:21 GMT-0500 (EST) }
Thanks

Simplest answer from the comments :
moment.utc().valueOf()
Gives UTC timestamp
var moment = require('moment');
// timestamp with UTC time
console.log(moment.utc().format('ddd MMM DD YYYY HH:mm:ss z'));
// or via the date object
console.log(moment.utc().toDate().toUTCString());
I wanted to know how to get the number of SECONDS, not milliseconds.
In moment.js 1.6.0, use this if you want the timestamp in seconds:
moment.utc().unix()
@Charles Foster's answer deals with milliseconds, which has been around since moment.js 1.0.0:
moment.utc().valueOf()
