Moment JS start and end of given month

you can use this directly for the end or start date of the month

new moment().startOf('month').format("YYYY-DD-MM");
new moment().endOf("month").format("YYYY-DD-MM");

you can change the format by defining a new format

That's because endOf mutates the original value.

Relevant quote:

Mutates the original moment by setting it to the end of a unit of time.

Here's an example function that gives you the output you want:

function getMonthDateRange(year, month) {
    var moment = require('moment');

    // month in moment is 0 based, so 9 is actually october, subtract 1 to compensate
    // array is 'year', 'month', 'day', etc
    var startDate = moment([year, month - 1]);

    // Clone the value before .endOf()
    var endDate = moment(startDate).endOf('month');

    // just for demonstration:
    console.log(startDate.toDate());
    console.log(endDate.toDate());

    // make sure to call toDate() for plain JavaScript date type
    return { start: startDate, end: endDate };
}
