setTime(timeValue)

An integer representing the new timestamp — the number of milliseconds since the midnight at the beginning of January 1, 1970, UTC.
Changes the Date
object in place, and returns its new timestamp. If timeValue
is NaN
(or other values that get coerced to NaN
, such as undefined
), the date is set to Invalid Date and NaN
is returned.
const theBigDay = new Date("1999-07-01"); const sameAsBigDay = new Date(); sameAsBigDay.setTime(theBigDay.getTime());
