Difference between dates in JavaScript

Question

How to find the difference between two dates?

Answer 1

Date.prototype.addDays = function(days) {

   var dat = new Date(this.valueOf())
   dat.setDate(dat.getDate() + days);
   return dat;
}

function getDates(startDate, stopDate) {

  var dateArray = new Array();
  var currentDate = startDate;
  while (currentDate <= stopDate) {
    dateArray.push(currentDate);
    currentDate = currentDate.addDays(1);
  }
  return dateArray;
}

var dateArray = getDates(new Date(), (new Date().addDays(7)));

for (i = 0; i < dateArray.length; i ++ ) {
  //  alert (dateArray[i]);

    date=('0'+dateArray[i].getDate()).slice(-2);
    month=('0' +(dateArray[i].getMonth()+1)).slice(-2);
    year=dateArray[i].getFullYear();
    alert(date+"-"+month+"-"+year );
}
