I seem to have more trouble than necessary.

I have a date in the past in string, say: 2017-01-09T10:23:13.000Z

I want to get the number of hours till now.

What operations should I perform?

use moment.duration and duration.asHours for this.

You can get the current datetime now using moment() and get the duration of now from the datetime you have as string.

var now = moment();
var duration = moment.duration(now.diff("2017-01-09T10:23:13.000Z"));
var hours = duration.asHours();
console.log(hours)

You can use diff specifying 'hour' as second parameter.

Here a working example:

var time = '2017-01-09T10:23:13.000Z';
console.log(moment().diff(moment(time), 'h'));

You should use moment.duration and duration.asHours methods.

var startTime=new moment(`2017-01-09T10:23:13.000Z`);
var end=moment();
var duration = moment.duration(end.diff(startTime));
var hours = duration.asHours();
console.log(parseInt(hours));


  var startTime=new moment(`2017-01-09T10:23:13.000Z`);
var end=moment();
var duration = moment.duration(end.diff(startTime));
var hours = duration.asHours();
console.log(parseInt(hours));
