How to covert Timestap 'String' to Date in javascript?

Question

In javascript, I have a timestamp value as a string. How to get Date from the same.

I know we can get a date from timestamp like below:

console.log(new Date(1535704620000)); Fri Aug 31 2018 14:07:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

But in my case, I want to get the value from the Timestamp value in the string as below:

console.log(new Date('1535704620000'));
Invalid Date

Thank you in advance.

...just turn the string into a number first? – CertainPerformance Aug 12 '18 at 10:09 — CertainPerformance, Aug 12 '18 at 10:09

All you have to do is to turn the string passed into the Date constructor into a number, which can be done with the unary plus operator:

  new Date(+'1535704620000')
