Get date from timestamp in node js

Question

I would like to display my timestamp in the front as the date. I tried several methods but none worked. here is the code:`

formulaire.addEventListener('submit', posteValidation);
/**
 *  Fonction pour ajouter une publication dans le serveur
 * @param {Event} event 
 */
const addPosteServeur = async (event) => {
    event.preventDefault();
    if(formulaire.checkValidity()){
        let data = {
            id_user: 1,
            timestamps: date.getTime(),
            text : textPoste.value
        }
        let response = await fetch('/', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
            body: JSON.stringify(data)
        });
        if(response.ok){
            addPosteClient({
                id_user: 1,
                timestamps: date.getTime(),
                text: textPoste.value
            });

            textPoste.value = '';
        }
    }
}
formulaire.addEventListener('submit', addPosteServeur);`

Thanks

what exactly do you want to show? what value does date in your code have? — David Grosh

How is this code relevant to your question? We need to see the addPosteClient function and how it displays the timestamp. And what do node.js or express have to do with any of this? — user5734311

Currently it is a sequence of timestamp numbers. I want to convert it to date in addPosteClient() — Robby

to get the date as timestamp in Node.js simply do Date.now(). If you want to get the date as string, you can use new Date().toUTCString() I suggest you to read the Date API that can be found here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
