To compare Unix timestamps in JavaScript, follow these steps:
1 2 3 4 5 |
const timestamp1 = 1609459200; // Unix timestamp in seconds const timestamp2 = 1609545600; // Unix timestamp in seconds const date1 = new Date(timestamp1 * 1000); // Multiply by 1000 to convert seconds to milliseconds const date2 = new Date(timestamp2 * 1000); |
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
if (date1 < date2) { console.log('Timestamp 1 is earlier than timestamp 2'); } else if (date1 > date2) { console.log('Timestamp 1 is later than timestamp 2'); } else { console.log('Timestamps are equal'); } |
Note that multiplying the timestamp by 1000 is necessary because JavaScript requires the timestamp to be specified in milliseconds.
