how to get number of days between two dates in moment js?

Hi Friends 👋,

Welcome To Infinitbility! ❤️

To get the number of days between two dates in moment js, use the diff() method with days to get the difference in a day.

Just import a moment in your file and call a.diff(b, 'days') and it will return the difference of dates in a day.

a.diff(b, 'days')

Today, I’m going to show How do I get a number of days between two dates using moment js, here I will use the momentjs standard method moment() and diff() for a number of days between two dates.

Let’s start today’s tutorial How do you get the number of days between two dates using moment js?

let’s write the code.

import moment from "moment";

function consoleTheDiff() {
  let start = moment("2018-03-10");
  let end = moment("2018-03-15");
  let diff = end.diff(start, 'days')
  console.log("Number of days", diff);
}

function App() {
  consoleTheDiff()
  return (

In the above program, we have created a two-moment dates variable and used the moment diff() method with the days parameter to get the difference in days.
