There you go. :)

var i = parseInt(moment().format('MM')) - 1;
while(i >= 0) {
 console.log(moment().subtract(i--, 'months').format('MMMM'));
}

Do we have any options to get months without define "allMonths" array? – Rupali Jul 17 '18 at 12:14
This gets only current and previous month. Need all previous months as requested by OP. – Vignesh Raja Jul 17 '18 at 12:52

you can do that with plain javascript too, no need of any extra library (moment)

var months = ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'];
var todaysDate = new Date();
var currentMonth = months[todaysDate.getMonth()];
console.log('Current month ' + currentMonth);
console.log('Previous month(s) ');
for(let i = months.indexOf(currentMonth) - 1; i >= 0; i--){
    console.log(months[i]);
}

This code showing me only current month , not previous monthsThis is the Result: "Current month Jul" "Previous month(s) " – Rupali Jul 17 '18 at 12:09
@Rupali edited added `months.indexOf(currentMonth)` instead of `currentMonth - 1` in for loop initialization, Thanks :) – manish Jul 17 '18 at 12:12

From moment.js, moment.months() and moment.monthsShort() can be used.

var currentmonth = new Date().getMonth();
console.log(moment.months().slice(0,currentmonth+1))

You can simply get this by using moment.js library

document.write(moment().month());

You'll get the answer 6 instead of 7 as this is July but this is not wrong as it's written in momentjs documentation that the months are zero indexed so if you want to print 7 you should write it as

document.write(moment().month()+1);
