Description

The monster.util.gregorianToDate() method converts a Gregorian timestamp into a Date instance.

To preserve legacy behavior, if timestamp is of type String the method will try to coerce it into a Number but it is not recommended to rely on this behavior.

Examples

var timestamp = 63113932800;

monster.util.gregorianToDate(timestamp);

// output: Sat Jan 01 2000 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)
