The getUTCMilliseconds()
method in JavaScript is a part of the Date
object and is used to get the milliseconds (0-999) for a given date object, in the UTC time zone. This can be useful for getting the milliseconds in a specific time zone, or for working with dates and times in a consistent time zone.
Here’s an example of how to use getUTCMilliseconds()
to get the current milliseconds in UTC time:
let date = new Date();
let milliseconds = date.getUTCMilliseconds();
console.log(milliseconds); // Outputs the current milliseconds in UTC time
You can also pass a date object as an argument to getUTCMilliseconds()
to get the milliseconds for a specific date in UTC time:
let date = new Date(2022, 0, 1, 11, 30, 0, 500); // January 1, 2022 at 11:30:00 (local time)
let milliseconds = date.getUTCMilliseconds();
console.log(milliseconds); // Outputs 500
Note that the getUTCMilliseconds()
method returns the milliseconds as a number between 0 and 999, with 0 representing no milliseconds and 999 representing 999 milliseconds.
In addition to getting the milliseconds, you can also use the setUTCMilliseconds()
method to set the milliseconds for a date object in UTC time. Here’s an example of how to use it:
let date = new Date();
date.setUTCMilliseconds(750); // Set the milliseconds to 750
console.log(date); // Outputs the current date and time with the milliseconds set to 750 in UTC time
