I get incorrect results when trying to find numeric difference between two dates:
var startDate = moment( $('[name="date-start"]').val(), "DD.MM.YYYY"), // $('[name="date-start"]').val() === "13.04.2016"
endDate = moment( $('[name="date-end"]' ).val(), "DD.MM.YYYY"); // $('[name="date-end"]').val() === "28.04.2016"
var diff = startDate.diff(endDate);
console.log( moment(diff).format('E') );
Between 13.04.2016
and 28.04.2016
I shouldn't get that difference is 3 or 2 days...
I've tried to multiple combinations:
startDate.diff(endDate)
with endDate.diff(startDate)
format('E')
with something I've come up searching the SOresult: all the time I get that difference is 3 or 2 days.
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
This question is related to
javascript
momentjs
const FindDate = (date, allDate) => {
// moment().diff only works on moment(). Make sure both date and elements in allDate array are in moment format
let nearestDate = -1;
allDate.some(d => {
const currentDate = moment(d)
const difference = currentDate.diff(d); // Or d.diff(date) depending on what you're trying to find
if(difference >= 0){
nearestDate = d
}
});
console.log(nearestDate)
}
Here's how you can get the comprehensive full fledge difference of two dates.
function diffYMDHMS(date1, date2) {
let years = date1.diff(date2, 'year');
date2.add(years, 'years');
let months = date1.diff(date2, 'months');
date2.add(months, 'months');
let days = date1.diff(date2, 'days');
date2.add(days, 'days');
let hours = date1.diff(date2, 'hours');
date2.add(hours, 'hours');
let minutes = date1.diff(date2, 'minutes');
date2.add(minutes, 'minutes');
let seconds = date1.diff(date2, 'seconds');
console.log(years + ' years ' + months + ' months ' + days + ' days ' + hours + '
hours ' + minutes + ' minutes ' + seconds + ' seconds');
return { years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds};
}

the diff
method returns the difference in milliseconds. Instantiating moment(diff)
isn't meaningful.
You can define a variable :
var dayInMilliseconds = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;
and then use it like so :
diff / dayInMilliseconds // --> 15
Edit
actually, this is built into the diff
method, dubes' answer is better
