Lodash _.now() Method
Lodash _.now() method is used to get the timestamp of the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the Unix epoch (1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC).

Return Value:
This method returns the timestamp.
Example 1: In this example, we are printing the time stamp in the console by the use of the lodash _.now() method.
Javascript
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require( 'lodash' ); // Getting the timestamp console.log(_.now()); |
Output:
1599545119753
Example 2: In this example, we are printing the time stamp in the console by the use of the lodash _.now() method.
Javascript
// Defining Lodash variable const _ = require( 'lodash' ); // Creating print function to print // timestamp after delay of 10ms function print() { setTimeout(() => { console.log( `Current timestamp is: ${_.now()}`) }, 10) } // Running this function 5 times // using _.times() function. _.times(5, print) console.log( "Type of timestamp is: " , typeof (_.now())) |
Output:
Type of timestamp is: number
Current timestamp is: 1599546710915
Current timestamp is: 1599546710916
Current timestamp is: 1599546710916
Current timestamp is: 1599546710916
Current timestamp is: 1599546710916
Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the lodash library to be installed.
