MomentJS - How to get last day of previous month from date?

Solution 1:

Simply add a endOf('month') to your calls:

var dateFrom = moment(dateFrom).subtract(1,'months').endOf('month').format('YYYY-MM-DD');

Solution 2:

An even easier solution would be to use moment.date(0). the .date() function takes the 1 to n day of the current month, however, passing a zero or negative number will yield a dates in the previous month.

For example if current date is February 3rd:

var _date = moment(); // 2018-02-03 (current day)
var _date2 = moment().date(0) // 2018-01-31 (start of current month minus 1 day)
var _date3 = moment().date(4) // 2018-02-04 (4th day of current month)
var _date4 = moment().date(-4) // 2018-01-27 (start of current month minus 5 days)

console.log(_date.format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
console.log(_date2.format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
console.log(_date3.format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
console.log(_date4.format("YYYY-MM-DD"));

Solution 3:

Last month's First date and last month's last date from the current date basis. The Format of the date changes depending upon. (DD-MM-YYYY)

console.log("last month first date");
   const lastmonthlastdate=moment().subtract(1, 'months').startOf('month').format('DD-MM-YYYY')
console.log(lastmonthlastdate);

console.log("lastmonth last date");
   const lastmonthfirstdate=moment().subtract(1, 'months').endOf('month').format('DD-MM-YYYY')
console.log(lastmonthfirstdate);

Solution 4:

You can get the first day of the month then subtract 1 day to get the last day of the previous month.

const monthyear = moment().format('YYYY-MM')
const firstDay = moment(monthyear + "-01").format("YYYY-MM-DD");
// Subtract 1 day to get the end of the previous month
const dateTo = moment(firstDay).subtract('1', 'days').format("YYYY-MM-DD");
