Examples

// Using instance methods to coerce to a timestamp
const foo = new Date().getTime();
const foo = new Date().valueOf();

// Unary coercion
const foo = +new Date;

// Number() wrapper
const foo = Number(new Date());

// In arithmetic expressions
const foo = new Date() * 2;
const elapsed = new Date() - start;
This rule has no configuration options. All reported cases are auto-fixable with --fix.
