js function to check number of days between two dates code example

Example 1: calculate days between dates in javascript

let startDate = "2021-04-01";
let date1 = new Date();
let date2 = new Date(startDate);
let timeInMilisec = date1.getTime() - date2.getTime();
let daysBetweenDates = Math.ceil(timeInMilisec / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));

Example 2: js get difference in days

const date1 = new Date('19/1/2021');
const date2 = new Date('20/1/2021');
const diffTime = Math.abs(date2 - date1);
const diffDays = Math.ceil(diffTime / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); 
console.log(diffTime + " milliseconds");
console.log(diffDays + " days");
