moment.js format for unix timestamp?

Question

I'm trying to convert a unix timestamp to local time using moment.tz . I've noticed I have to use a format when passing in a date, like this

moment.tz(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm a', zone).format('MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm a');

My problem is when I want to convert from a unix timestamp to calendar like date the conversion fails. What should I pass for the format string?

I've tried these two formats with no luck

var date = moment.tz(publishInterval.DateUnix, 'X', zone).format('MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm a');


var date = moment.tz(publishInterval.DateUnix, zone).format('MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm a');

Solution 1

have you tried moment(date).format('MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm a') as is?

Solution 2

I believe there is a very simple fix for this when using moment. Simply use the .unix function with moment. Below is an example -

var date = moment.unix(date).format("MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm a")

This will work if the date variable is a number, and is in terms of milliseconds. (Not sure if that's what the OP has or not yet.)

Maybe adding some event listener or HTML code that runs your JS on run would be in order to show your code running.
