On Unix, I can run date '+%s'
to get the amount of seconds since epoch. But I need to query that in a browser front-end, not back-end.
Is there a way to find out seconds since Epoch in JavaScript?

See Question&Answers more detail:osvar seconds = new Date() / 1000;
Or, for a less hacky version:
var d = new Date();
var seconds = d.getTime() / 1000;
Don't forget to Math.floor()
or Math.round()
to round to nearest whole number or you might get a very odd decimal that you don't want:
var d = new Date();
var seconds = Math.round(d.getTime() / 1000);
