var start = new Date(2012, 0, 15);
var end = new Date(2012, 4, 23);
var range = moment.range(start, end);
console.log(range.start._d);
console.log(range.end._d);
Output
Precise range will display the exact date difference in date, time and in human readable format. You can use the following command to install precise range on Node.js −
npm install moment-precise-range-plugin
Example
var a = moment("1998-01-01 09:00:00").preciseDiff("2011-03-04 18:05:06");
