compare two dates in javascript moment code example

Example 1: moment js date diff

var now  = "04/09/2013 15:00:00";
var then = "02/09/2013 14:20:30";

var ms = moment(now,"DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss").diff(moment(then,"DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss"));
var d = moment.duration(ms);
var s = d.format("hh:mm:ss");

// outputs: "48:39:30"

Example 2: compare two dates using moment

moment('2010-10-20').isAfter('2010-01-01', 'year'); // false
moment('2010-10-20').isAfter('2009-12-31', 'year'); // true

Example 3: moment js between two dates

// moment version => 2.13.0.
const start = moment().subtract(1, 'days');
const end = new Date();
const actual = moment().subtract(1, 'hours');
const test = moment(actual).isBetween(start, end);
console.log(test);
  
// moment version < 2.13.0.
var startDate = new Date(2013, 1, 12)
  , endDate   = new Date(2013, 1, 15)
  , date  = new Date(2013, 2, 15)
  , range = moment().range(startDate, endDate);
range.contains(date);
