Timestamp

Validates if a value is a timestamp.

Installation

$ npm install validate.io-timestamp

For use in the browser, use browserify.

Usage

var isTimestamp = require( 'validate.io-timestamp' );

isTimestamp( value )

Validates if a value is a timestamp.

var value = Date.now();
 
var bool = isTimestamp( value );
// returns true

A valid timestamp may be in either milliseconds or seconds.

Notes

The value to be validated should be numeric. For any other type, the method returns false.

var isTimestamp = require( 'validate.io-timestamp' );
 
console.log( isTimestamp( Date.now() ) );
// returns true
 
var secs = Math.round( Date.now()/1000 );
console.log( isTimestamp( secs ) );
// returns true
 
console.log( isTimestamp( 123456 ) );
// returns false
 
console.log( isTimestamp( new Date() ) );
// returns false

$ make test

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

Test Coverage

This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

$ make test-cov

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,
