MomentJs: endOf('month') does not deliver last day of month

Question

console.log of my initial date shows:

Fri Apr 01 2016 02:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST)

This is what I do:

  // first day is guaranteed to be a first day of month by default
  var firstDayOfMonth = moment.utc(initialDate).startOf('day');
  var lastDayOfMonth = firstDayOfMonth.clone();
  lastDayOfMonth.endOf('month');
  console.log(firstDayOfMonth.toDate()); // Fri Apr 01 2016 02:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST)
  console.log(lastDayOfMonth.toDate()); // Sun May 01 2016 01:59:59 GMT+0200 (CEST)

But last day of April is not May 1st of course.

It might be related to a Summertime issue (CEST)? But i need it working in any timezone - I already try to set anything as UTC to get rid of these annoying timezone issues.

Use moment.format() instead of toDate() to get in UTC. For different formats refer Multiple Locale Support here https://momentjs.com/

For example,

console.log(lastDayOfMonth.format('LLLL')); 

output: Saturday, April 30, 2016 11:59 PM
