Luxon: fromMillis(0) does not start with the Epoch

Created on 6 Dec 2017  路  11Comments  路  Source: moment/luxon

DateTime,fromMillis(1) returns 1970-01-01 and 1 milliseconds, but DateTime,fromMillis(0) returns the current time. Is this a bug or does it have a reason ?

Unix timestamps are in seconds, not milliseconds. Try this:

DateTime.fromMillis(1521250121 * 1000).toFormat("yyyy/MM/dd") //=> "2018/03/16"

(that might be the 17th in your zone)

Sounds like a bug; I bet it's 0 being falsy causing a problem.

Fixed in 8e20a4e, will release soon.

Released in 0.2.7

Tested in 0.2.8
.. still broken (when running the example code below)

var luxon = require("luxon")
luxon.DateTime
  .fromMillis(0)
  .setZone('America/Los_Angeles');

because of this line
https://github.com/moment/luxon/blob/master/src/datetime.js#L331

Hmm, yeah, i'll clean that up

Fixed in c7a76ce4, released in 0.2.9

Looks like this is back in 0.5.8

import { DateTime } from 'luxon';

const date = DateTime.fromMillis(1521250121);
console.log('DateTime', date); // DateTime 1970-01-18T08:34:10.121-06:00

@paddingtonsbear I don't think you saved the codesandobx example; I just see the boilerplate at that link. But I looked at the example you pasted in and that looks fine. What did you expect the result of that to be?

I believe I might be using the package incorrectly, I was trying to format the unix time 1521250121 to yyyy/mm/dd but the fromMillis function keeps returning 1970-01-18 and not the correct date which is suppose to be 2018-03-17.

Actually the codesandbox is saved, I am currently logging the responses to console, I should have included that in my initial post. Click on src/index.js and you should find my example
