I know there are numerous ways to go about this, but I'm dealing with date formatted as such:
"2021-01-06T16:24:34Z"
How do I convert this to a timestamp that represent post unix epoch with Javascript?
You just need to parse the date, then divide the resulting number by 1000 to have it in seconds.
To parse it, you just need to remove the T and the Z.
let dateString = "2021-01-06T16:24:34Z";
let dateForDateParsing = dateString.replace("T", " ").replace("Z", "");
console.log(dateForDateParsing);
let UnixTimestamp = Math.floor(new Date(dateForDateParsing) / 1000);
console.log(UnixTimestamp);new Date("2021-01-06T16:24:34Z").getTime() / 1000
