Convert UNIX to readable date in javascript

Question

I am trying to figure out, how i can convert a unix timestamp to a readable date using javascript.

For an example, i want to convert this unix: 1422360000, to a date format like this (or something simular):

 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 12:00:00 GMT

Solution:

 var timestamp = 1422360000;                 
 var date = new Date(timestamp * 1000);

Using your solution, i get something like this: "1970-01-17T11:06:00.000Z" – Englund0110 Jan 26 '15 at 13:04
@Englund0110, that's correct even I am getting said time. – Satpal Jan 26 '15 at 13:09

It has to be Date(value*1000) – Englund0110 Jan 26 '15 at 13:18

try this:

new Date(1422360000).toString()

That will make your date look like the string you want.
