javascript-d3How can I display Unix time using d3.js?


To display Unix time using d3.js, you can use the d3-time-format library. This library allows you to parse, format, and manipulate dates and times in JavaScript.

For example, you can use the following code to convert a Unix timestamp to a human-readable date and time format:

// Load the d3-time-format library
const d3TimeFormat = require("d3-time-format");

// Define the format to be used
const formatDate = d3TimeFormat.timeFormat("%B %d %Y, %I:%M %p");

// Convert the Unix timestamp to a human-readable date and time format
const date = formatDate(1589680000);

// Output the date
console.log(date); // May 17 2020, 12:00 AM

The code above:

  1. Loads the d3-time-format library.
  2. Defines the format to be used.
  3. Converts the Unix timestamp to a human-readable date and time format.
  4. Outputs the date.
