Moment.js show diff between 2 dates

Question

I use moment(d, "YYYYMMDD").fromNow(); to get diff between date now and some date, but I would like to get without string "a few days ago

Answer 1

Moment.diff does exactly that.

var a = moment([2007, 0, 29]);
var b = moment([2007, 0, 28]);
a.diff(b) // 86400000

You can specify a unit:

var a = moment([2007, 0, 29]);
var b = moment([2007, 0, 28]);
a.diff(b, 'days') // 1
