moment.js work out time left
- by user1503606
I am trying to get my head around the moment.js library as it seems more stable than the jquery one and the jquery date one is output console errors.
http://momentjs.com/docs/#/manipulating/
What i am trying to do is do a countdown to work out the time left from now.
example i have
var countDownTill = '2012-11-19 00:00:00 +0000';
document.write(moment(countDownTill).diff(moment(), 'months') + " months<br>");
document.write(moment(countDownTill).diff(moment(), 'weeks') + " weeks<br>");
document.write(moment(countDownTill).diff(moment(), 'days') + " days<br>");
which will output
0 months
1 weeks
4 days
but its not working out overall its doing it individuals for each value (days,weeks,months)
so if i up the date by say 12 months like below.
var countDownTill = '2013-11-19 00:00:00 +0000';
document.write(moment(countDownTill).diff(moment(), 'months') + " months<br>");
document.write(moment(countDownTill).diff(moment(), 'weeks') + " weeks<br>");
document.write(moment(countDownTill).diff(moment(), 'days') + " days<br>");
it outputs.
12 months
53 weeks
369 days
where as i am trying to get it to output
12 months
2 weeks
5 days
