moment.js and deprecated warning. timestamp to moment date object - momentjs

I've read thru various posts on here in regards to similiar issues but none have solved my problem.
I manipulate the moment.js date object, and then store it as timestamp.
BUT, when I try to read in that timestamp again, I get that deprecated warning.
""Deprecation warning: moment construction falls back to js Date. This is discouraged and will be removed in upcoming major release. Please refer to https://github.com/moment/moment/issues/1407 for more info."
I've tried toDate(), format(), moment(myTimeStamp, 'ddd, DD MMM YYYY HH:mm:ss ZZ'); --> all generate the warning...
So, for example, my timestamp will look like this:
const timestamp = '1458586740000'
when I read that back and try to parse out the month/day/year, then the hour/min am/pm, etc... I need to get that timestamp into a moment.js object. Nothing is working for me. Any ideas.
How can I get this timestamp: '1458586740000', into a moment.js object so I can extract date date from it as I need?
EDIT: this is how I am storing the timestamp. So I would need to retrieve it from this.
let timeStamp = Moment(state[_Date])
.add({ hour: state[AMPM] === 'PM'
? +state[Hour] + 12
: state[Hour] ,
minute: state[Min] }).format('x')

The X token indicates a unix timestamp in seconds, and the x token indicates a unix millisecond timestamp (offset).
You appear to have a millisecond timestamp, so you would make a moment out of it by doing the following:
var a = moment('1458586740000', 'x')
It works without ' as well:
var a = moment(1458586740000, 'x')
You can also not specify the x and it should work:
moment(1458586740000)
Because you have a unix offset (milliseconds), not a unix timestamp (seconds), moment.unix is not what you want.
Then you can do the following:
a.format()
"2016-03-21T13:59:00-05:00"
Or you can use any of the other formatting tokens listed here to output whatever result you would like: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/
Based on the code you presented, I think you may be having problems because your timestamp is stored as a string (in ''). Parsing as a string causes an invalid date error, because it attempts to match ISO 8601 format and fails. Specifying that 'x' token will cause it to assume unix offset and work correctly.

Format Date via Parameter

I have a DateTime variable (default formatting), and I would like to format it to a format to I receive from a string parameter.
I normally do something similar to: {myDate:yyyy-MM-dd}, and it works properly.
Now I have a lot of possible date formats and need to format according to the chosen one.
I have tried the following but returned garbage (ae0aor0aa):
string testFormat = "yyyy. MM. dd.";
{myDate:testFormat }
I have also tried to convert the date to string and back to date with ParseExact, but gave me an invalid date exception. NB: the date in myDate is valid, as I have checked it with the debugger.
Can you kindly advise?
Thanks to apc, it was easily solved by myDate.ToString(testFormat)

MomentJS - convert YYYYMMDD and HH:MM to YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss

I get two separate time and date values from my API.
date: 20190404
time: 09:30
I want to combine the two in one acceptable format, such as YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.
I have tried the following:
moment(data[i].date + 'T' + data[i].time).valueOf()
but I get the following error in the console:
Deprecation warning: value provided is not in a recognized RFC2822 or ISO format. moment construction falls back to js Date(), which is not reliable across all browsers and versions. Non RFC2822/ISO date formats are discouraged and will be removed in an upcoming major release. Please refer to http://momentjs.com/guides/#/warnings/js-date/ for more info.
and the value in my array shows as 'NaN'
Thanks!
Concatenate the date and time without space and add the format as the second parameter of moment()
var moment = require("moment")
var data = {date: '20190404',
time: '09:30'}
var joined = `${data.date}${data.time}`
console.log(moment(joined, 'YYYYMMDDh:mm:ss').format())
// "2019-04-04T09:30:00+01:00"

Can't format the date using moment.js

Can't format the below date using moment.js, the below statement returns Invalid Date
moment('20171206T062406927Z').format('D-MMM-YYYY');
Please help me on this.
You need to tell moment which format your date string is in:
moment('20171206T062406927Z', 'YYYYMMDD[T]HHmmssSSSZ', true).format('D-MMM-YYYY');
Edit: updated as per #VincenzoC comment to ensure the timestamp is parsed in UTC
Also fix: use HH for 24-hour format (not hh), and pass a third true parameter to ensure the timestamp is parsed in strict mode.

Format hours, minutes and seconds with moment.js

I get this value from my backend service: 171054. It represents hh:mm:ss. But when I use the formatting options from the docs it gives me back 00:00:00.
Things I've tried:
moment('171054').format('hh-mm-ss')
moment('171054').format('HH-mm-ss')
moment('171054').format('HH-MM-SS')
You are confusing format option with parsing option. Since your input string is not in ISO 8601 format, you have to specify format when parsing.
Here a working example for your use case:
var mom = moment('171054', 'HHmmss');
console.log(mom.format());
console.log(mom.format('HH:mm:ss'));
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.15.1/moment.min.js"></script>
I am not sure if momentjs can read that as date since there is no identifier. I would suggest changing the value for example you have 171054, get each 2 digits since you sure that this is represent as hh:mm:ss then add identifier between then like ":" or "-" then try us momentjs formatting again.

momentJS UTC versus specifying the timezone in the moment constructor

Does the below 2 syntaxes are same,
moment(1456261200367, 'H:mm:ss.SSS').utc().valueOf() //1456343786120
moment(1456261200367 +0000, 'H:mm:ss.SSS Z').valueOf() //1456325786120
but as you could see if both of them coverts the given value to UTC mode then why there is a difference in the output?
Also I would like to know how a.valueOf() and b.valueOf() are same, when a.format() and b.format() are different, because moment() (moment parses and displays in local time) is different from moment.utc() (displays a moment in UTC mode)
var a = moment();
var b = moment.utc();
a.format();
b.format();
a.valueOf();
b.valueOf();
In the first part, you're using it incorrectly. You've passed numeric input which would normally be interpreted as a unix timestamp, but then you've supplied a string-based format string so the number is converted to a string. The format string here is telling moment how the input is specified, but it doesn't match what you're actually parsing.
This doesn't error though, because by default moment's parser is in "forgiving" mode. You can read more about this in the docs.
The correct way to pass a timestamp into moment is with one of these:
moment(1456261200367)
moment(1456261200367).utc()
moment.utc(1456261200367)
The last two are equivalent, but the moment.utc(timestamp) form is prefered.
With any of those, all three will have the same .valueOf(), which is just the timestamp you started with. The difference is in the mode that the moment object is in. The first one is in local mode, reflecting the time zone of the computer where it's running, while the other two are in UTC mode.
This is evident when you format the output using the format function, as with other many other functions. I believe that answers your second question as well.
