const clock = require('mesh-utils').clock;
let stamp = clock.genStamp('01 January 2019, 22:33:44');
console.log(stamp);

clock.genClock(jsTimestamp) It generates a date & time data structure from given timestamp.

let clockData = clock.genClock(Date.now());
console.log(clockData);

   { year: 2019,
     month: 7,

  time:
   { hours: 0, 
     minutes: 14,
