converting long timestamp to extract year in typescript

From my backend I get an object with date of birth that is a long value.For frontend I use angular 4 (typescript) I would like to extract year from that date of birth to be able to calculate age but I have no idea how to parse long to some kind of Date object in typescript. Could you give me a hint where to look for information?

Maybe something along lines of:

a: Number;
let a = new Date(762861060).getFullYear();

Thank you for help

You can use Moment.js:

import * as moment from 'moment';

var diff = moment.duration((moment(762861060)).diff(moment()));
var age_in_days = diff.days();
var age_in_years = diff.years();

You're not far off, if you don't need fractional years:

var birthDate = new Date(762861060);
var laterDate = new Date();  
var yearsBetween = laterDate.getFullYear() - birthDate.getFullYear();

You can try simple code like this:

var birthDate = new Date(762861060);
var todayDate = new Date();    
var milliDay = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24; // a day in milliseconds;

var ageInDays = (todayDate - birthDate) / milliDay;   
var ageInYears =  Math.floor(ageInDays / 365 );

console.log(ageInYears)
