The _.now() method is used to get the timestamp of the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the Unix epoch (1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC).
Syntax:
_.now()
Parameters: This method does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This method returns the timestamp.
Example 1:
Javascript
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require('lodash'); // Getting the timestamp console.log(_.now()); |
Output:
1599545119753
Example 2:
Javascript
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require('lodash'); // Creating print function to print // timestamp after delay of 10ms function print(){ setTimeout(() => { console.log( `Current timestamp is: ${_.now()}`) }, 10) } // Running this function 5 times // using _.times() function. _.times(5, print) console.log("Type of timestamp is: ", typeof(_.now())) |
Output:
Type of timestamp is: number Current timestamp is: 1599546710915 Current timestamp is: 1599546710916 Current timestamp is: 1599546710916 Current timestamp is: 1599546710916 Current timestamp is: 1599546710916
Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the lodash library to be installed.
