How do you convert a hex string to a Date?-CodePudding

I've got a hex string, 0x63a4b534, I'd like to convert to a human readable date. However, I'm not sure how to do that. I've tried:

new Date("0x63a4b534").toLocaleDateString()

to no avail.

new Date("0x63a4b534".toNumber() * 1000).toLocaleDateString()

CodePudding user response：

// eth timestamp is in seconds. this will give you seconds
const timeInSeconds=parseInt('0x63a4b534',16)
// convert to miliseconds
const timeInMiliseconds=timeInSeconds*1000
const currentTime=new Date(timeInMiliseconds).toLocaleDateString()
