To convert a date to the number of hours from now using Moment.js, you can follow these steps:
- Include the Moment.js library in your HTML file. You can either download the library and link it with a script tag or use a CDN. For example:
1
|
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.29.1/moment.min.js"></script> |
- Suppose you have a specific date or timestamp that you want to convert. Create a Moment.js object for that date. For example, to get the number of hours from now for a specific date (e.g., "2022-01-01 09:00:00"), you can use the moment() function:
1
|
const targetDate = moment("2022-01-01 09:00:00");
|
- Calculate the difference between the current date/time and the target date, and get the duration in hours using the diff() and hours() functions. To get the difference from the current date/time, you can use moment(). For example:
1 2 |
const now = moment(); const hoursFromNow = targetDate.diff(now, 'hours'); |
- Print out the result:
1
|
console.log(hoursFromNow); |
Here's a complete example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Date to Hours from Now</title>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.29.1/moment.min.js"></script>
<script>
window.onload = function() {
const targetDate = moment("2022-01-01 09:00:00");
const now = moment();
const hoursFromNow = targetDate.diff(now, 'hours');
console.log(hoursFromNow);
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
|
In this example, the output will be the number of hours from the current time to the target date/time ("2022-01-01 09:00:00").
