Convert Date Types in Typescript

Issue

So I'm getting Data from a C# Rest-Server. One value of the array is of the type Date. When I want to calculate with it for example:

let difference = date1.getTime() - date2.getTime();

I get the following error:

date1.getTime is not a function

I guess the error is, that Date of Java is not the same as Date of Typescript.

Is there a way to convert a value of type Date (Java) to type Date (TypeScript)?

Or I'm I wrong and the error is caused by something else?

Solution

You need to convert the date to Date Object inorder to apply its method.

let difference = new Date(date1).getTime() - new Date(date2).getTime();
