Type alias: UTCTimestamp

UTCTimestamp: Nominal<number, "UTCTimestamp">

Represents a time as a UNIX timestamp.

If your chart displays an intraday interval you should use a UNIX Timestamp.

Note that JavaScript Date APIs like Date.now return a number of milliseconds but UTCTimestamp expects a number of seconds.

Note that to prevent errors, you should cast the numeric type of the time to UTCTimestamp type from the package (value as UTCTimestamp) in TypeScript code.

Example

const timestamp = 1529899200 as UTCTimestamp; // Literal timestamp representing 2018-06-25T04:00:00.000Z
const timestamp2 = (Date.now() / 1000) as UTCTimestamp;
