Getting invalid date from moment.js?

I have a redis stored timestamp when I get it, it looks like this:

1454803149444

Then when I try to do:

i.text-muted.createdAtPost= moment(post.timestamp).format("MM/DD/YY @ h:mm:ss") // Jade Template

I get

Invalid Date

But if I take the same integer, and go moment(1454803149444).format(h:mm:ss") I get 05/21/54 @ 12:00:00

Any information would be great thanks.

I had the same problem. What I did was

let time = post.timestamp / 1000;
let formatted = moment.unix(time).format("MM/DD/YY @ h:mm:ss");

I have no idea why this works. I tried forcing the value into an integer and still got invalid date. I hard coded the value that was console logged and it worked, like in your case. For some reason dividing it by 1000 and calling it a unix timestamp works fine. Seems like a bug to me.

What value does timestamp pass?
Did you check that?
If it has a specific format you need to set it as:

moment(post.timestamp, 'YYYY/DD/MM').format("MM/DD/YY @ h:mm:ss")
