Behavior & Notes

• Enables arithmetic and comparison operations when used with primitive conversion
• Automatically called when Chronos instance is used in numeric context
• Equivalent to getTimeStamp() method
• Returns same value as JavaScript Date's valueOf()

Examples

Use Cases

• Sorting arrays of Chronos instances
• Calculating time differences
• Interoperability with libraries expecting numeric timestamps
