javascript - Get month name of last month using moment

Question

I use the following code to get startDate and endDate of the last months.

// Previous month
var startDateMonthMinusOne = moment().subtract(1, "month").startOf("month").unix();
var endDateMonthMinusOne   = moment().subtract(1, "month").endOf("month").unix();

// Previous month - 1

var startDateMonthMinusOne = moment().subtract(2, "month").startOf("month").unix();
var endDateMonthMinusOne   = moment().subtract(2, "month").endOf("month").unix();

How can i do to get also the month name ? (January, February, ...)

Answer 1

Instead of unix() use the format() function to format the datetime using the MMMM format specifier for the month name.

var monthMinusOneName =  moment().subtract(1, "month").startOf("month").format('MMMM');

See the chapter Display / Format in the documentation
