momentjs Getting started with momentjs General usage

Example

The way Moment uses dates and times is by wrapping the existing Date() object in a moment() object and specifying useful and intuitive methods on this object.

Format Dates

moment().format('MMMM Do YYYY, h:mm:ss a'); // August 4th 2016, 10:41:45 am
moment().format('dddd');                    // Thursday
moment().format("MMM Do YY");               // Aug 4th 16
moment().format('YYYY [escaped] YYYY');     // 2016 escaped 2016
moment().format();                          // 2016-08-04T10:41:45+02:00

Relative Time

moment("20111031", "YYYYMMDD").fromNow(); // 5 years ago
moment("20120620", "YYYYMMDD").fromNow(); // 4 years ago
moment().startOf('day').fromNow();        // 11 hours ago
moment().endOf('day').fromNow();          // in 13 hours
moment().startOf('hour').fromNow();       // 42 minutes ago

Calendar Time

moment().subtract(10, 'days').calendar(); // 07/25/2016
moment().subtract(6, 'days').calendar();  // Last Friday at 10:42 AM
moment().subtract(3, 'days').calendar();  // Last Monday at 10:42 AM
moment().subtract(1, 'days').calendar();  // Yesterday at 10:42 AM
moment().calendar();                      // Today at 10:42 AM
moment().endOf('day');                    // Today at 23:59 AM
moment().add(1, 'days').calendar();       // Tomorrow at 10:42 AM
moment().add(3, 'days').calendar();       // Sunday at 10:42 AM
moment().add(10, 'days').calendar();      // 08/14/2016

Multiple Locale Support

moment.locale();         // en
moment().format('LT');   // 10:43 AM
