Get Current Date in Unix Epoch Time in JavaScript

We can get the current Unix epoch timestamp in JavaScript (e.g. Node.js) with the following:

const epoch = Math.round(new Date().getTime() / 1000) 
console.log(epoch)

Result:

1601941415

We can also use valueOf:

const epoch = Math.round(new Date().valueOf() / 1000)
console.log(epoch)

Result:

1601941860

Probably the best way is using the static method now from Date:

const epoch = Math.round(Date.now() / 1000) 
console.log(epoch)

Result:

1601941936

Note that we need to divide by 1000 because the original result is in milliseconds.
