I have 2 dates like below :
Todays date = 2021-10-13 11:03:57.560
Old date = 2016-08-07 11:03:57.560
I want month difference from todays date Month - Old date Month = 10 - 8 = 2
Code:
console.log(moment().diff($scope.creationTime, 'months')); // returns 62
Expected: Current month - Old date month
Can anyone please help me with this?
Right now you get 62 because the two dates are 5 years and 2 months apart:
5 * 12 + 2 = 62
An easy way to drop the year difference is to use the remainder operator and do monthDifference % 12 which will give you only the number of months, regardless of the years:
function monthDiff(date1, date2) {
const monthDifference = moment(date1).diff(moment(date2), 'months');
return monthDifference % 12;
}
console.log(monthDiff("2021-10-13 11:03:57.560", "2016-08-07 11:03:57.560"));
console.log(monthDiff("2021-10-07 11:03:57.560", "2016-08-13 11:03:57.560"));<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.29.1/moment.min.js"></script>Use month() from moment.js to get the months and simple math after that:
const today = moment();
const someday = moment('2011-01-01 00:00Z');
console.log(today.month())
console.log(someday.month())
console.log(Math.abs(today.month()-someday.month()))
You dont need moment to do that you use Date as well
new Date().getMonth - to get your current month
new Date('2016-08-07 11:03:57.560').getMonth() - to get the month of your old date
console.log(new Date().getMonth() - new Date('2016-08-07 11:03:57.560').getMonth())
