How to convert data in Unix milliseconds to my time zone
To convert Unix milliseconds to your time zone, you can use JavaScript in a Pipedream workflow. Here’s a simple example of how you can achieve this using a Node.js code step: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Example Unix timestamp in milliseconds const unixMilliseconds = 1633072800000; // Convert to a JavaScript Date object const date = new Date(unixMilliseconds); // Specify your time zone, e.g., 'America/New_York' const options = { timeZone: 'America/New_York', hour12: false }; // Format the date to a readable string in your time zone const formattedDate = date.toLocaleString('en-US', options); return formattedDate; }, }); ### Explanation: 1. Unix Milliseconds: This is the input timestamp in milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970). 2. JavaScript Date Object: The Date object is used to handle date and time in JavaScript. We create a new Date object using the Unix milliseconds. 3. Time Zone Conversion: We use the toLocaleString method to convert the date to a string formatted in a specific time zone. You can specify your desired time zone in the options object. 4. Formatted Date: The result is a human-readable date string in your specified time zone. You can adjust the timeZone option to match your desired time zone. This code will convert the Unix milliseconds to a formatted date string in that time zone.
What if the Unix timestamp is 13 digits long
