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())
If you provide 0 as the dayValue in Date.setFullYear you get the last day of the previous month:
d = new Date(); d.setFullYear(2008, 11, 0); // Sun Nov 30 2008
There is reference to this behaviour at mozilla. Is this a reliable cross-browser feature or should I look at alternative methods?
var month = 0; // January
var d = new Date(2008, month + 1, 0);
console.log(d.toString()); // last day in January
IE 6: Thu Jan 31 00:00:00 CST 2008
IE 7: Thu Jan 31 00:00:00 CST 2008
IE 8: Beta 2: Thu Jan 31 00:00:00 CST 2008
Opera 8.54: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT-0600
Opera 9.27: Thu, 31 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT-0600
Opera 9.60: Thu Jan 31 2008 00:00:00 GMT-0600
Firefox 2.0.0.17: Thu Jan 31 2008 00:00:00 GMT-0600 (Canada Central Standard Time)
Firefox 3.0.3: Thu Jan 31 2008 00:00:00 GMT-0600 (Canada Central Standard Time)
Google Chrome 0.2.149.30: Thu Jan 31 2008 00:00:00 GMT-0600 (Canada Central Standard Time)
Safari for Windows 3.1.2: Thu Jan 31 2008 00:00:00 GMT-0600 (Canada Central Standard Time)
Output differences are due to differences in the toString() implementation, not because the dates are different.
Of course, just because the browsers identified above use 0 as the last day of the previous month does not mean they will continue to do so, or that browsers not listed will do so, but it lends credibility to the belief that it should work the same way in every browser.
I find this to be the best solution for me. Let the Date object calculate it for you.
var today = new Date();
var lastDayOfMonth = new Date(today.getFullYear(), today.getMonth()+1, 0);
Setting day parameter to 0 means one day less than first day of the month which is last day of the previous month.
I would use an intermediate date with the first day of the next month, and return the date from the previous day:
int_d = new Date(2008, 11+1,1);
d = new Date(int_d - 1);
In computer terms, new Date() and regular expression solutions are slow! If you want a super-fast (and super-cryptic) one-liner, try this one (assuming m is in Jan=1 format). I keep trying different code changes to get the best performance.
My current fastest version:
After looking at this related question Leap year check using bitwise operators (amazing speed) and discovering what the 25 & 15 magic number represented, I have come up with this optimized hybrid of answers (note the parameters m & y must obviously be integers for this to work):
function getDaysInMonth(m, y) {
return m===2 ? y & 3 || !(y%25) && y & 15 ? 28 : 29 : 30 + (m+(m>>3)&1);
}
Given the bit-shifting this obviously assumes that your m & y parameters are both integers, as passing numbers as strings would result in weird results.

For some reason, (m+(m>>3)&1) is more efficient than (5546>>m&1) on almost all browsers.
The only real competition for speed is from #GitaarLab, so I have created a head-to-head JSPerf for us to test on: http://jsperf.com/days-in-month-head-to-head/5
It works based on my leap year answer here: javascript to find leap year this answer here Leap year check using bitwise operators (amazing speed) as well as the following binary logic.
A quick lesson in binary months:
If you interpret the index of the desired months (Jan = 1) in binary you will notice that months with 31 days either have bit 3 clear and bit 0 set, or bit 3 set and bit 0 clear.
Jan = 1 = 0001 : 31 days
Feb = 2 = 0010
Mar = 3 = 0011 : 31 days
Apr = 4 = 0100
May = 5 = 0101 : 31 days
Jun = 6 = 0110
Jul = 7 = 0111 : 31 days
Aug = 8 = 1000 : 31 days
Sep = 9 = 1001
Oct = 10 = 1010 : 31 days
Nov = 11 = 1011
Dec = 12 = 1100 : 31 days
That means you can shift the value 3 places with >> 3, XOR the bits with the original ^ m and see if the result is 1 or 0 in bit position 0 using & 1. Note: It turns out + is slightly faster than XOR (^) and (m >> 3) + m gives the same result in bit 0.

My colleague stumbled upon the following which may be an easier solution
function daysInMonth(iMonth, iYear)
{
return 32 - new Date(iYear, iMonth, 32).getDate();
}
stolen from http://snippets.dzone.com/posts/show/2099
A slight modification to solution provided by lebreeze:
function daysInMonth(iMonth, iYear)
{
return new Date(iYear, iMonth, 0).getDate();
}
I recently had to do something similar, this is what I came up with:
/**
* Returns a date set to the begining of the month
*
* #param {Date} myDate
* #returns {Date}
*/
function beginningOfMonth(myDate){
let date = new Date(myDate);
date.setDate(1)
date.setHours(0);
date.setMinutes(0);
date.setSeconds(0);
return date;
}
/**
* Returns a date set to the end of the month
*
* #param {Date} myDate
* #returns {Date}
*/
function endOfMonth(myDate){
let date = new Date(myDate);
date.setDate(1); // Avoids edge cases on the 31st day of some months
date.setMonth(date.getMonth() +1);
date.setDate(0);
date.setHours(23);
date.setMinutes(59);
date.setSeconds(59);
return date;
}
Pass it in a date, and it will return a date set to either the beginning of the month, or the end of the month.
The begninngOfMonth function is fairly self-explanatory, but what's going in in the endOfMonth function is that I'm incrementing the month to the next month, and then using setDate(0) to roll back the day to the last day of the previous month which is a part of the setDate spec:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/setDate
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_setdate.asp
I then set the hour/minutes/seconds to the end of the day, so that if you're using some kind of API that is expecting a date range you'll be able to capture the entirety of that last day. That part might go beyond what the original post is asking for but it could help someone else looking for a similar solution.
Edit: You can also go the extra mile and set milliseconds with setMilliseconds() if you want to be extra precise.
How NOT to do it
Beware of any answers for the last of the month that look like this:
var last = new Date(date)
last.setMonth(last.getMonth() + 1) // This is the wrong way to do it.
last.setDate(0)
This works for most dates, but fails if date is already the last day of the month, on a month that has more days than the following month.
Example:
Suppose date is 07/31/21.
Then last.setMonth(last.getMonth() + 1) increments the month, but keeps the day set at 31.
You get a Date object for 08/31/21,
which is actually 09/01/21.
So then last.setDate(0) results in 08/31/21 when what we really wanted was 07/31/21.
try this one.
lastDateofTheMonth = new Date(year, month, 0)
example:
new Date(2012, 8, 0)
output:
Date {Fri Aug 31 2012 00:00:00 GMT+0900 (Tokyo Standard Time)}
This works for me.
Will provide last day of given year and month:
var d = new Date(2012,02,0);
var n = d.getDate();
alert(n);
This one works nicely:
Date.prototype.setToLastDateInMonth = function () {
this.setDate(1);
this.setMonth(this.getMonth() + 1);
this.setDate(this.getDate() - 1);
return this;
}
You can get the First and Last Date in the current month by following the code:
var dateNow = new Date();
var firstDate = new Date(dateNow.getFullYear(), dateNow.getMonth(), 1);
var lastDate = new Date(dateNow.getFullYear(), dateNow.getMonth() + 1, 0);
or if you want to format the date in your custom format then you can use moment js
var dateNow= new Date();
var firstDate=moment(new Date(dateNow.getFullYear(),dateNow.getMonth(), 1)).format("DD-MM-YYYY");
var currentDate = moment(new Date()).format("DD-MM-YYYY"); //to get the current date var lastDate = moment(new
Date(dateNow.getFullYear(), dateNow.getMonth() + 1, 0)).format("DD-MM-YYYY"); //month last date
This will give you current month first and last day.
If you need to change 'year' remove d.getFullYear() and set your year.
If you need to change 'month' remove d.getMonth() and set your year.
var d = new Date();
var days = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"];
var fistDayOfMonth = days[(new Date(d.getFullYear(), d.getMonth(), 1).getDay())];
var LastDayOfMonth = days[(new Date(d.getFullYear(), d.getMonth() + 1, 0).getDay())];
console.log("First Day :" + fistDayOfMonth);
console.log("Last Day:" + LastDayOfMonth);
alert("First Day :" + fistDayOfMonth);
alert("Last Day:" + LastDayOfMonth);
Try this:
function _getEndOfMonth(time_stamp) {
let time = new Date(time_stamp * 1000);
let month = time.getMonth() + 1;
let year = time.getFullYear();
let day = time.getDate();
switch (month) {
case 1:
case 3:
case 5:
case 7:
case 8:
case 10:
case 12:
day = 31;
break;
case 4:
case 6:
case 9:
case 11:
day = 30;
break;
case 2:
if (_leapyear(year))
day = 29;
else
day = 28;
break
}
let m = moment(`${year}-${month}-${day}`, 'YYYY-MM-DD')
return m.unix() + constants.DAY - 1;
}
function _leapyear(year) {
return (year % 100 === 0) ? (year % 400 === 0) : (year % 4 === 0);
}
const today = new Date();
let beginDate = new Date();
let endDate = new Date();
// fist date of montg
beginDate = new Date(
`${today.getFullYear()}-${today.getMonth() + 1}-01 00:00:00`
);
// end date of month
// set next Month first Date
endDate = new Date(
`${today.getFullYear()}-${today.getMonth() + 2}-01 :23:59:59`
);
// deducting 1 day
endDate.setDate(0);
Below function gives the last day of the month :
function getLstDayOfMonFnc(date) {
return new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), 0).getDate()
}
console.log(getLstDayOfMonFnc(new Date(2016, 2, 15))) // Output : 29
console.log(getLstDayOfMonFnc(new Date(2017, 2, 15))) // Output : 28
console.log(getLstDayOfMonFnc(new Date(2017, 11, 15))) // Output : 30
console.log(getLstDayOfMonFnc(new Date(2017, 12, 15))) // Output : 31
Similarly we can get first day of the month :
function getFstDayOfMonFnc(date) {
return new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth(), 1).getDate()
}
console.log(getFstDayOfMonFnc(new Date(2016, 2, 15))) // Output : 1
Here is an answer that conserves GMT and time of the initial date
var date = new Date();
var first_date = new Date(date); //Make a copy of the date we want the first and last days from
first_date.setUTCDate(1); //Set the day as the first of the month
var last_date = new Date(first_date); //Make a copy of the calculated first day
last_date.setUTCMonth(last_date.getUTCMonth() + 1); //Add a month
last_date.setUTCDate(0); //Set the date to 0, this goes to the last day of the previous month
console.log(first_date.toJSON().substring(0, 10), last_date.toJSON().substring(0, 10)); //Log the dates with the format yyyy-mm-dd
function getLastDay(y, m) {
return 30 + (m <= 7 ? ((m % 2) ? 1 : 0) : (!(m % 2) ? 1 : 0)) - (m == 2) - (m == 2 && y % 4 != 0 || !(y % 100 == 0 && y % 400 == 0));
}
set month you need to date and then set the day to zero ,so month begin in 1 - 31 in date function then get the last day^^
var last = new Date(new Date(new Date().setMonth(7)).setDate(0)).getDate();
console.log(last);
I know it's just a matter of semantics, but I ended up using it in this form.
var lastDay = new Date(new Date(2008, 11+1,1) - 1).getDate();
console.log(lastDay);
Since functions are resolved from the inside argument, outward, it works the same.
You can then just replace the year, and month / year with the required details, whether it be from the current date. Or a particular month / year.
If you need exact end of the month in miliseconds (for example in a timestamp):
d = new Date()
console.log(d.toString())
d.setDate(1)
d.setHours(23, 59, 59, 999)
d.setMonth(d.getMonth() + 1)
d.setDate(d.getDate() - 1)
console.log(d.toString())
The accepted answer doesn't work for me, I did it as below.
$( function() {
$( "#datepicker" ).datepicker();
$('#getLastDateOfMon').on('click', function(){
var date = $('#datepicker').val();
// Format 'mm/dd/yy' eg: 12/31/2018
var parts = date.split("/");
var lastDateOfMonth = new Date();
lastDateOfMonth.setFullYear(parts[2]);
lastDateOfMonth.setMonth(parts[0]);
lastDateOfMonth.setDate(0);
alert(lastDateOfMonth.toLocaleDateString());
});
});

var date = new Date();
console.log(new Date(date.getFullYear(), date.getMonth() + 1, 0, 23, 59, 59));
if you just need to get the last date of a month following worked out for me.
var d = new Date();
const year = d.getFullYear();
const month = d.getMonth();
const lastDay = new Date(year, month +1, 0).getDate();
console.log(lastDay);
try it out here https://www.w3resource.com/javascript-exercises/javascript-date-exercise-9.php
In my case, this code was useful
end_date = new Date(2018, 3, 1).toISOString().split('T')[0]
console.log(end_date)
I am trying to add days to a date. I am taking input from the user where I have separate input boxes for the each field like no. of years, no of months and no of days like this.
as you can see in the 2nd input field row I am accepting no of years, days, months, etc.
and in First row I am getting a proper date like : 2020 10 05 00 00 00
and then passing them to date constructor to gate date.
ex. Date firstdate = new Date(2020, 10, 05, 00, 00,00);
and I am adding days to the above date using the following function
Date.prototype.addDays = function(days) {
var date = new Date(this.valueOf());
date.setDate(date.getDate() + days);
return date;
}
I am adding days to the previous date by calling a function like this.
var newdate = firstdate.addDays(totaldays);
Now the problem is while I am calculating days it is not including leap years and months with their specified date. because I am calculating days like this way:
totaldays = (years * 365) + (months * 30) + days;
What is the way so I can add days perfectly? for example, if the user entered date like
2020 12 10 00 00 00
and add the number of days and years like this
1 year 3 months 0 days 00 00 00
so it should ideally calculate 3 months that is January, February, march, as the user has entered the date of December so next three months date should be added.
SO How do I get the perfect number of days?
Sorry, this question can feel so long or improper. but I am working on this from a week.
Note: I cannot use any external link, API, Library as this is a school project.
Any help will be great. also sorry for my English. I'm not a native speaker.
Let the Date object do it for you, by using getFullyear/setFullYear, getMonth/setMonth, and getDate/setDate. They handle rollover and leap years:
const yearsToAdd = 1;
const monthsToAdd = 3;
const daysToAdd = 0;
const date = new Date(2020, 12 - 1, 10);
console.log(date.toString());
date.setFullYear(date.getFullYear() + yearsToAdd);
date.setMonth(date.getMonth() + monthsToAdd);
date.setDate(date.getDate() + daysToAdd);
console.log(date.toString());
Just as an example of handling leap years, here's that code adding two days to Feb 28th 2020 (which was a leap year, so there was a Feb 29th):
const yearsToAdd = 0;
const monthsToAdd = 0;
const daysToAdd = 2;
const date = new Date(2020, 2 - 1, 28);
console.log(date.toString());
date.setFullYear(date.getFullYear() + yearsToAdd);
date.setMonth(date.getMonth() + monthsToAdd);
date.setDate(date.getDate() + daysToAdd);
console.log(date.toString());
Notice how it goes to March 1st, not March 2nd, as it does in 2019:
const yearsToAdd = 0;
const monthsToAdd = 0;
const daysToAdd = 2;
const date = new Date(2019, 2 - 1, 28);
console.log(date.toString());
date.setFullYear(date.getFullYear() + yearsToAdd);
date.setMonth(date.getMonth() + monthsToAdd);
date.setDate(date.getDate() + daysToAdd);
console.log(date.toString());
This is a duplicate of other questions:
Add A Year To Today's Date
JavaScript function to add X months to a date
Add days to JavaScript Date
To summarise some of the issues:
Days are not always 24 hours long where daylight saving occurs, so you must determine whether "adding 1 day" means adding 1 calendar day or adding 24 hours
Months are 28 to 31 days long, so adding 1 month adds a different number of days depending on the month you're adding to
Years are 365 or 366 days long. In a leap year, adding 1 year to 29 Feb adds 366 days and ends on 2 Mar. The following day, adding 1 year to 1 Mar ends on 1 Mar
There are other quirks with leap years and month lengths not mentioned above, such as 31 Aug + 1 month gives 1 Oct, because adding a month in August adds 31 days.
So you can either add business rules to deal with the quirks, or just let them happen.
In reagard to adding years, months and days, that can be done in one call to setFullYear:
date.setFullYear(date.getFullYear() + yearsToAdd,
date.getMonth() + monthsToAdd,
date.getDate() + daysToAdd);
Adding them all at once can have a different result to adding them one at a time.
Given that you are getting values for the year, month, day, etc. then the values to add, you can simply add corresponding values (ensuring you convert strings to numbers before adding) and call the Date constructor once:
let date = new Date(startYear + yearsToAdd,
startMonth - 1 + monthsToAdd, // Assuming user enters calendar month
startDay + daysToAdd,
startHour + hoursToAdd,
startMinute + minutesToAdd,
startSecond + secondsToAdd);
