js plus two dates code example

Example 1: get the difference between two dates js

const date1 = new Date('7/13/2010');
const date2 = new Date('12/15/2010');
const diffTime = Math.abs(date2 - date1);
const diffDays = Math.ceil(diffTime / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); 
console.log(diffTime + " milliseconds");
console.log(diffDays + " days");

Example 2: javascript difference between two dates in days

/* difference between date1 and date2 in days (date2 - date1) */
/* date1 and date 2 are already javascript date objects */
function dateDifference(date2, date1) {
    const _MS_PER_DAY = 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24;

    // Discard the time and time-zone information.
    const utc1 = Date.UTC(date1.getFullYear(), date1.getMonth(), date1.getDate());
    const utc2 = Date.UTC(date2.getFullYear(), date2.getMonth(), date2.getDate());

    return Math.floor((utc2 - utc1) / _MS_PER_DAY);
}
