I retrieve a date variable from a JSON object in a string format, but I am having trouble getting the elapsed time until now.
import React from 'react';
export default class Date extends React.Component {
render() {
console.log(this.props.date); //shows: 2017-01-25T10:18:18Z
var date = Date.parse(this.props.date.toString());
console.log(date.getTime());
return (
<div >
</div>
);
}
}
If it is not a date object, just create a new date object.
var date = new Date(this.props.date);
var elapsed = date.getTime(); // Elapsed time in MS
If it is a date object, just call this.props.date.getTime()
