The timestamp in JavaScript is expressed in milliseconds
In UNIX timestamp, you have the timestamp in second counting from 1970
If you are given the timestamp you can use the following code to get the date string
var dateString = moment.unix(1332111600).format("MM/DD/YYYY"); console.log(dateString)
You can use the following code to get the timestamp form the date object
var timestamp = moment('03/19/2012','MM/DD/YYYY').toDate().getTime() console.log(timestamp)
