Epoch (Unix Time) based Dates in View map() Functions!

[scalabl3]

[meant to post this as it's own topic, must be some hidden metadata that makes this group in other Discussions!]

A little tip when working with Epoch based Dates:

function (doc, meta) {

  if (meta.type == "json" && doc.type == "grouplevel") {

    // create a new date

    var dt = new Date(0)

    

    // set number of seconds from epoch time in doc

    dt.setUTCSeconds(doc.timestamp);

    

    // convert to array

    var da = dateToArray(dt)

        

    emit(da, meta.id);

  }

}

Results of the Indexed Key : [2012,10,24,19,12,11] 

If you just do (for epoch times)

var dt = new Date(doc.timestamp)

var da = dateToArray(dt)

emit(da, meta.id);        

You'd get: [1970,1,16,15,18,25]

Which isn't what you're looking for!
