Unix Timestamp conversion to JavaScript wrong output [closed]

I am storing Unix Timestamp in Firebase server and it is saving as 1417780144675.

When I am converting epochconverter the output is:

Assuming that this timestamp is in milliseconds:
GMT: Fri, 05 Dec 2014 11:49:04 GMT
Your time zone: 12/5/2014, 5:19:04 PM GMT+5:30

But when I am converting in JavaScript, the output is:

Fri Aug 30 46897 15:27:55 GMT+0530 (IST)

So output from epochconverter is correct whereas in JavaScript it's coming wrong.

Please how to get correct output using JavaScript.

My guess is that you're looking for: new Date(1417780144675).toUTCString(), which returns "Fri, 05 Dec 2014 11:49:04 GMT" (like the middle line of epochconverter). — Frank van Puffelen

@FrankvanPuffelen, Thank you i have did in my code var datetime = new Date(data.created_at * 1000); Now its working fine with var datetime = new Date(data.created_at); — RubyOnRails

Good to hear that you got it working. Next time be sure to include such a code snippet in your question, without it we're playing a guessing game. — Frank van Puffelen

You should instanciate a new Date:

var date = new Date(1417780144675);

Output:

Fri Dec 05 2014 12:49:04 GMT+0100
