How to get unix timestamp of next Monday in Javascript + MomentJS

Question

I have a Javascript application and I'm using MomentJS to deal with timestamps and dates. Because a requirement now I need to find out the unix timestamp (seconds since epoch) of the next Monday, given the current date. I couldn't find any solution online except for some code that does a lot of DIY date manipulation, converting back and forth between strings and timestamps, a complete mess

Do you know any neat way to get the unix timestamp of the next Monday in a reliable way? By Monday I mean the first second of it

There are some very straight forward solutions in the search results, including `moment().day(1 + 7)`. Ok, it can get simpler but not by much! ;-) — RobG, Aug 14 '17 at 06:47

Try this:

moment.utc().isoWeekday(8).startOf('day').unix()

Unix timestamp of the first day of the next month:

moment.utc().add(1, 'month').startOf('month').unix()
