Difference in Months between two dates in JavaScript

Question

How would I work out the difference for two Date() objects in JavaScript, while only return the number of months in the difference?

Any help would be great :)

Answer 1

You could also consider this solution, this function returns the month difference in integer or number

Passing the start date as the first or last param, is fault tolerant. Meaning, the function would still return the same value.

const diffInMonths = (end, start) => {
   var timeDiff = Math.abs(end.getTime() - start.getTime());
   return Math.round(timeDiff / (2e3 * 3600 * 365.25));
}

const result = diffInMonths(new Date(2015, 3, 28), new Date(2010, 1, 25));

// shows month difference as integer/number
console.log(result);
