To change the date using Moment.js, you can follow these steps:
- Install Moment.js:
If you are working with Node.js, you can install it using npm: npm install moment
If you are working on a web project, you can include Moment.js by adding the script tag:
- Import Moment.js into your code:
For Node.js, import Moment.js with: const moment = require('moment');
For web projects, no import is required since Moment.js is globally available as a global variable.
- Create a Moment object with the desired date:
You can create a Moment object using a specific date string or existing date object. For example:
const date = moment('2021-05-31', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
- Change the date using Moment.js methods:
Moment.js provides various methods to manipulate dates. Some common methods are:
add(): Add time to the moment object. Example: date.add(7, 'days')
subtract(): Subtract time from the moment object. Example: date.subtract(1, 'month')
set(): Set a specific part of the date. Example: date.set('year', 2022)
startOf(): Set the start of a specific time unit. Example: date.startOf('month')
endOf(): Set the end of a specific time unit. Example: date.endOf('year')
Change the date according to your requirement. For example:
date.add(1, 'week');
date.subtract(1, 'month');
date.set('year', 2022);
- Access the modified date:
You can access the modified date using the format() method to convert the Moment object to a string format. For example:
const modifiedDate = date.format('YYYY-MM-DD');
console.log(modifiedDate);
That's it! You have now successfully changed the date using Moment.js. Remember to adjust the time zone if needed.
