How to get a timestamp in Dart?

dart, epoch

Solution

You almost had it right. You just did not use a named constructor:

void main() {
  print(DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch);
}

Gives:

1351441456747

See the API documentation for more: https://api.dart.dev/stable/2.10.1/dart-core/DateTime-class.html

Problem

I've been learning Dart, but I don't know how to generate a timestamp. I have tried this: ``` void main() { print((new Date()).millisecondsSinceEpoch); } ``` Thanks to the IDE I was able to get this far, but I'm getting a confusing error: ``` Exception: No such method: 'Date' ``` Help?
