How to calculate date difference in JavaScript?

Question

I want to calculate date difference in days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, nanoseconds. How can I do it?

Answer 1

function DateDiff(date1, date2) {
    date1.setHours(0);
    date1.setMinutes(0, 0, 0);
    date2.setHours(0);
    date2.setMinutes(0, 0, 0);
    var datediff = Math.abs(date1.getTime() - date2.getTime()); // difference 
    return parseInt(datediff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000), 10); //Convert values days and return value      
}
