How to calculate Number of 'Working days' between two dates in Javascript using moment.js?
Just divide it into 3 parts.. first week, last week and the in between, something like this:
function workday_count(start,end) {
var first = start.clone().endOf('week'); // end of first week
var last = end.clone().startOf('week'); // start of last week
var days = last.diff(first,'days') * 5 / 7; // this will always multiply of 7
var wfirst = first.day() - start.day(); // check first week
if(start.day() == 0) --wfirst; // -1 if start with sunday
var wlast = end.day() - last.day(); // check last week
if(end.day() == 6) --wlast; // -1 if end with saturday
return wfirst + Math.floor(days) + wlast; // get the total
} // ^ EDIT: if days count less than 7 so no decimal point
The test code
var ftest = {date:'2015-02-0',start:1,end:7};
var ltest = {date:'2015-02-2',start:2,end:8};
var f = 'YYYY-MM-DD';
for(var z=ftest.start; z<=ftest.end; ++z) {
var start = moment(ftest.date + z);
for(var y=ltest.start; y<=ltest.end; ++y) {
var end = moment(ltest.date + y);
var wd = workday_count(start,end);
console.log('from: '+start.format(f),'to: '+end.format(f),'is '+wd+' workday(s)');
}
}
Output of test code:

I use a simple function to accomplish that. Maybe is not the most efficient but it works. It doesn't require Moment.js. it's just Javascript.
function getNumWorkDays(startDate, endDate) {
var numWorkDays = 0;
var currentDate = new Date(startDate);
while (currentDate <= endDate) {
// Skips Sunday and Saturday
if (currentDate.getDay() !== 0 && currentDate.getDay() !== 6) {
numWorkDays++;
}
currentDate = currentDate.addDays(1);
}
return numWorkDays;
}
To addDays
, I use the following function:
Date.prototype.addDays = function (days) {
var date = new Date(this.valueOf());
date.setDate(date.getDate() + days);
return date;
};
I've made an adaptation to Kokizzu answer, in order to fix a Summer Time problem. In Brazilian Timezone (GMT -3), the difference between 17/10/2017 and 18/10/2017 was -2.71 instead of 2.
The start of the week was 15/10/2017 00:00 UTC or 14/10/2017 21:00-03:00
The end of the week was 22/10/2017 00:00 UTC or 21/10/2017 22:00-02:00 (Summer Time)
Therefore, instead of 7, the difference between "first" and "last" variable in days was 6 (or 8, depending on your Timezone).
The code fixed is below:
start = moment(start).utc().add(start.utcOffset(), 'm'); // Ignore timezones
end = moment(end).utc().add(end.utcOffset(), 'm'); // Ignore timezones
var first = start.clone().endOf('week'); // end of first week
var last = end.clone().startOf('week'); // start of last week
// Fixing Summer Time problems
firstCorrection = moment(first).utc().add(60, 'm').toDate(); //
var days = last.diff(firstCorrection,'days') * 5 / 7; // this will always multiply of 7
var wfirst = first.day() - start.day(); // check first week
if(start.day() == 0) --wfirst; // -1 if start with sunday
var wlast = end.day() - last.day(); // check last week
if(end.day() == 6) --wlast; // -1 if end with saturday
return wfirst + days + wlast; // get the total (subtract holidays if needed)
