Convert string to timestamp Angular2

Question

There's an easy way to convert a string from an input to a timestamp?

For example... I got this:

"5/4/2018 11:49:01"

how do I convert that to this format?

"1522928905"

I don't think it's exactly a duplicate, but this is similar and may help you: stackoverflow.com/questions/43202250/… — Rich

You can just use the getTime() function of the date object.
For example:

let date = new Date("5/4/2018 11:49:01");
console.log(date.getTime());

getTime() returns the time in milliseconds, if you want the time in seconds just divide the result with 1000.
