Use the unix() and format() Methods

We can use the unix() method to create a moment object from a timestamp.

Then we can use the format() method to format the date into a calendar date.

For instance, we can write:

import moment from 'moment'
const dt = +new Date(2021,1,1)
const dateString = moment.unix(dt / 1000).format("MM/DD/YYYY");
console.log(dateString)
