unicorn/prefer-date-now Pedantic

🛠️ An auto-fix is available for this rule.

Prefers use of Date.now() over new Date().getTime() or new Date().valueOf().

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

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

javascript

const ts = new Date().getTime();
const ts = new Date().valueOf();

Examples of correct code for this rule:

javascript

const ts = Date.now();
