prefer-date-now.md

Prefer Date.now() to get the number of milliseconds since the Unix Epoch

✅ This rule is part of the recommended config.

🔧 This rule is auto-fixable.

Date.now() is shorter and nicer than new Date().getTime(), and avoids unnecessary instantiation of Date objects.

Fail

const foo = new Date().getTime();

const foo = new Date().valueOf();

const foo = +new Date;

const foo = Number(new Date());

const foo = new Date() * 2;

Pass

const foo = Date.now();

const foo = Date.now() * 2;
