fromDate


    var date=new Date();
    var dt=DateTime.fromDate(date);

fromMoment

Create a DateTime from a moment object


  var mmt=moment();
  var dt=DateTime.fromMoment(mmt);

fromObject


   DateTime.fromObject{unit: value, ...});


    DateTime.fromObject({ hour:15, minute:10 });
    DateTime.fromObject({ y    :2010, M     :3, d   :5, h    :15, m      :10, s      :3, ms          :123});
    DateTime.fromObject({ year :2010, month :3, day :5, hour :15, minute :10, second :3, millisecond :123});

You can create a DateTime by specifying some of the units in an object. Omitted units default to 0 or the current date, month, and year. `day` and `date` key both mean day-of-the-month. Note that `new Date(year, month, date)`, months are 0 indexed.

fromUnixEpoch


    var timestamp=DateTime.fromUnixEpoch();

toUnixEpoch


    var timestamp=DateTime.now().toUnixEpoch();

toDate

This will return a copy of the `Date` that the DateTime uses, so any changes to that `Date` will not cause DateTime to change. If you want to change the DateTime `Date`, see `DateTime#manipulate` or `DateTime#set`.

toJSON

When serializing an object to JSON, if there is a `DateTime` object, it will be represented as an ISO8601 string, adjusted to UTC. JSON.stringify({ postDate : new DateTime() }); If instead you would like an ISO8601 string that reflects the DateTime's `utcOffset()`, then you can modify the `toJSON` function like this: DateTime.fn.toJSON = function() { return this.toString(); } This changes the behavior as follows: JSON.stringify({ postDate : new DateTime() });

toISOString


  new DateTime().toISOString(); 
  new DateTime().toISOString(keepOffset);

Formats a string to the ISO8601 standard. new DateTime().toISOString() Note that `.toISOString()` returns a timestamp in UTC, even if the DateTime in question is in local mode. This is done to provide consistency with the specification for native JavaScript Date `.toISOString()`, as outlined in the ES2015 specification .
