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(b, e)
{
    let
        endYear = e.getFullYear(),
        endMonth = e.getMonth(),
        years = endYear - b.getFullYear(),
        months = endMonth - b.getMonth(),
        days = e.getDate() - b.getDate();
    if (months < 0)
    {
        years--;
        months += 12;
    }
    if (days < 0)
    {
        months--;
        days += new Date(endYear, endMonth, 0).getDate();
    }
    return [years, months, days];
}

[years, months, days] = DateDiff(
    new Date("October 21, 1980"),
    new Date("July 11, 2017")); // 36 8 20
