var endDate = \'2014-11-01\';

And I want to end up with an array of stri

Answer 1

This should produce the desired output:

function dateRange(startDate, endDate) {
  var start      = startDate.split('-');
  var end        = endDate.split('-');
  var startYear  = parseInt(start[0]);
  var endYear    = parseInt(end[0]);
  var dates      = [];

  for(var i = startYear; i <= endYear; i++) {
    var endMonth = i != endYear ? 11 : parseInt(end[1]) - 1;
    var startMon = i === startYear ? parseInt(start[1])-1 : 0;
    for(var j = startMon; j <= endMonth; j = j > 12 ? j % 12 || 11 : j+1) {
      var month = j+1;
      var displayMonth = month < 10 ? '0'+month : month;
      dates.push([i, displayMonth, '01'].join('-'));
    }
  }
  return dates;
}

Just call it with your existing date format:

dateRange('2013-11-01', '2014-06-01')
// ["2013-11-01", "2013-12-01", "2014-01-01", "2014-02-01", "2014-03-01", "2014-04-01", "2014-05-01", "2014-06-01", "2014-07-01", "2014-08-01", "2014-09-01", "2014-10-01", "2014-11-01", "2014-12-01"]
