# Date

Represents timestamps.

The Date API is still preliminary with only a subset of properties and methods implemented. Note that getting the current date, via Date.now, requires importing the Date object from the host (as Date).

WARNING

Date does not currently support timezones other than UTC. Therefore, methods such as toString and toTimeString can only be partially implemented.

# Constructor

```
new Date(value: i64)
```
Constructs a new date object from an UTC timestamp in milliseconds.

# Static members

```
function now(): i64
```
Returns the current UTC timestamp in milliseconds. To use this function you must import the Date object from the host (as Date).

function UTC(
  year: i32,
  month?: i32,
  day?: i32,
  hour?: i32,
  minute?: i32,
  second?: i32,
  millisecond?: i64
): i64

Returns the UTC timestamp in milliseconds of the specified date.

```
function fromString(dateTimeString: string): Date
