moment js difference between two dates code example

Example 1: javascript difference between two dates

const date1 = new Date('7/13/2010');
const date2 = new Date('12/15/2010');
console.log(getDifferenceInDays(date1, date2));
console.log(getDifferenceInHours(date1, date2));
console.log(getDifferenceInMinutes(date1, date2));
console.log(getDifferenceInSeconds(date1, date2));

function getDifferenceInDays(date1, date2) {
  const diffInMs = Math.abs(date2 - date1);
  return diffInMs / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
}

function getDifferenceInHours(date1, date2) {
  const diffInMs = Math.abs(date2 - date1);
  return diffInMs / (1000 * 60 * 60);
}

function getDifferenceInMinutes(date1, date2) {
  const diffInMs = Math.abs(date2 - date1);
  return diffInMs / (1000 * 60);
}

function getDifferenceInSeconds(date1, date2) {
  const diffInMs = Math.abs(date2 - date1);
  return diffInMs / 1000;
}

Example 2: momentjs number of days between two dates

var given = moment("2018-03-10", "YYYY-MM-DD");
var current = moment().startOf('day');

//Difference in number of days
moment.duration(given.diff(current)).asDays();

Example 3: moment date difference in days

moment(new Date()).diff(moment(new Date()), 'days') // 0

Example 4: moment js date diff

var now  = "04/09/2013 15:00:00";
var then = "02/09/2013 14:20:30";

var ms = moment(now,"DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss").diff(moment(then,"DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss"));
var d = moment.duration(ms);
var s = d.format("hh:mm:ss");

// outputs: "48:39:30"

Example 5: moment check days of difference between days

var a = moment([2007, 0, 29]);
var b = moment([2007, 0, 28]);
a.diff(b, 'days')

Example 6: moment js difference between two dates

var admission = moment('{date1}', 'DD-MM-YYYY'); 
var discharge = moment('{date2}', 'DD-MM-YYYY');
discharge.diff(admission, 'days');
