The toTemporalInstant() method of Date instances returns a new Temporal.Instant object with the same epochMilliseconds value as this date's timestamp.
Use this method to convert legacy Date values to the Temporal API, then further convert it to other Temporal classes as necessary.

Examples
Using toTemporalInstant()
js
const legacyDate = new Date("2021-07-01T12:34:56.789Z");
const instant = legacyDate.toTemporalInstant();
// Further convert it to other objects
const zdt = instant.toZonedDateTimeISO("UTC");
const date = zdt.toPlainDate();
console.log(date.toString()); // 2021-07-01
