Equivalent code of Mage::app()->getLocale()->storeTimeStamp() in Magento2

Question

I would like to find out the magento2 equivalent of the below code from magento 1

Mage::app()->getLocale()->storeTimeStamp()

Can anyone assist me?

Answer 1

Something like \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\TimezoneInterface?

For example:

protected $_timezone;

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\TimezoneInterface $timezone,
) {
    $this->_timezone = $timezone;
}

Then you can use:

$date = $this->timezone->formatDate();

Alternatively, \Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\DateTime::gmtDate(); might give you what you want.

Answer 2

<?php
$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$dateTime = $objectManager->get("Magento\Framework\Stdlib\DateTime\DateTime");
var_dump($dateTime->gmtDate());
var_dump($dateTime->gmtTimestamp());
?>
