You can pass number of miliseconds to Date constructor like:

let now = Date.now();
let date = new Date(now).getDate();
console.log(date);

Hi, I am getting this data from DB, should the milliseconds be saved as number or string? Cause I am still getting errors – itneg Dec 07 '19 at 02:11
@itneg did you try the number ? – mickl Dec 07 '19 at 02:11
i figured it out. Cause there are two formats of number in mongodb, int32 and int64, also Epoch timestamp and timestamp in milliseconds which has 3 zeros more.. Thanks for the help – itneg Dec 07 '19 at 02:31
unix epoch time is in seconds, not milliseconds – Jaromanda X Dec 07 '19 at 02:53
