Get month name from two digit month number
You want to pass the month when you create the Moment object:
var formattedMonth = moment('09', 'MM').format('MMMM'); // September
moment(
'09', // Desired month
'MM' // Tells MomentJs the number is a reference to month
).format('MMMM') // Formats month as name
While there's nothing wrong with Kevin's answer, it is probably more correct (in terms of efficiency) to obtain the month string without going through a moment
object.
var monthNum = 9; // assuming Jan = 1
var monthName = moment.months(monthNum - 1); // "September"
var shortName = moment.monthsShort(monthNum - 1); // "Sep"
