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

See what I use:

function monthDiff() {
    var startdate = Date.parseExact($("#startingDate").val(), "dd/MM/yyyy");
    var enddate = Date.parseExact($("#endingDate").val(), "dd/MM/yyyy");
    var months = 0;
    while (startdate < enddate) {
        if (startdate.getMonth() === 1 && startdate.getDate() === 28) {
            months++;
            startdate.addMonths(1);
            startdate.addDays(2);
        } else {
            months++;
            startdate.addMonths(1);
        }
    }
    return months;
}
