My response object containing startTime, I want to compare all the startTimes and get the latest time to display on timeline.
How can I find the latest Date and time using moment.js
Response I am getting -
[{
name:"abc",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-10-13T07:16:55Z",
},{
name:"def",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-10-13T07:18:57Z",
},{
name:"ghi",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-10-15T07:17:05Z",
},{
name:"jkl",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-11-03T12:07:52Z",
}]
My code -
response.forEach((d)=>{
if(d.type == 'CALL'){
console.log("latest start time ",d);
$scope.view(d); //need to pass the obj of latest startTime only
$scope.$apply();
}else{
//Something else
}
})
How can I do this using JavaScript or moment?
You can sort array:
const dates = [{
name:"abc",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-10-13T07:16:55Z",
},{
name:"def",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-10-13T07:18:57Z",
},{
name:"ghi",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-10-15T07:17:05Z",
},{
name:"jkl",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-11-03T12:07:52Z",
}];
const sortedDates = dates.sort((a, b) => moment(a.startTime).diff(moment(b)))
And in sortedDates array at position sortedDates[0] you have latest date
Using moment().isBefore property can handle this,
const returnLatest =(res)=>{
let latest = res[0];
res.forEach(item=>{
if(moment(item.startTime).isBefore(latest.startTime)){
latest = item;
}
});
return latest;
}
const data = [{
name:"abc",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-10-13T07:16:55Z",
},{
name:"def",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-10-13T07:18:57Z",
},{
name:"ghi",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-10-15T07:17:05Z",
},{
name:"jkl",
type:"CALL",
startTime:"2021-11-03T12:07:52Z",
}]
console.log(returnLatest(data));
It gonna sort it out and return the object with the latest startTime
