JavaScript: get all months between two dates?
If loading an extra library isn't a problem, you could always try the awesome MomentJS.
Gives for very clean and powerful date manipulation.
var startDate = moment('2012-04-01');
var endDate = moment('2014-11-01');
var dates = [];
endDate.subtract(1, "month"); //Substract one month to exclude endDate itself
var month = moment(startDate); //clone the startDate
while( month < endDate ) {
month.add(1, "month");
dates.push(month.format('YYYY-MM-DD'));
}
console.log(dates);
JSFiddle here
const getMonths = (fromDate, toDate) => {
const fromYear = fromDate.getFullYear();
const fromMonth = fromDate.getMonth();
const toYear = toDate.getFullYear();
const toMonth = toDate.getMonth();
const months = [];
for(let year = fromYear; year <= toYear; year++) {
let monthNum = year === fromYear ? fromMonth : 0;
const monthLimit = year === toYear ? toMonth : 11;
for(; monthNum <= monthLimit; monthNum++) {
let month = monthNum + 1;
months.push({ year, month });
}
}
return months;
}
const sample = getMonths(new Date('2022-07-28'), new Date('2023-03-20'));
console.log(sample);
document.write('check the console output');

You can also use the excellent moment.js library:
var startDate = moment('2012-04-01');
var endDate = moment('2014-11-01');
var result = [];
if (endDate.isBefore(startDate)) {
throw "End date must be greated than start date."
}
while (startDate.isBefore(endDate)) {
result.push(startDate.format("YYYY-MM-01"));
startDate.add(1, 'month');
}
JSFiddle
This should produce the desired output:
function dateRange(startDate, endDate) {
var start = startDate.split('-');
var end = endDate.split('-');
var startYear = parseInt(start[0]);
var endYear = parseInt(end[0]);
var dates = [];
for(var i = startYear; i <= endYear; i++) {
var endMonth = i != endYear ? 11 : parseInt(end[1]) - 1;
var startMon = i === startYear ? parseInt(start[1])-1 : 0;
for(var j = startMon; j <= endMonth; j = j > 12 ? j % 12 || 11 : j+1) {
var month = j+1;
var displayMonth = month < 10 ? '0'+month : month;
dates.push([i, displayMonth, '01'].join('-'));
}
}
return dates;
}
Just call it with your existing date format:
dateRange('2013-11-01', '2014-06-01')
// ["2013-11-01", "2013-12-01", "2014-01-01", "2014-02-01", "2014-03-01", "2014-04-01", "2014-05-01", "2014-06-01", "2014-07-01", "2014-08-01", "2014-09-01", "2014-10-01", "2014-11-01", "2014-12-01"]
