How to get the list of date in between start and end date using moment js

Question

Get the date list based on start and end date using moment js.

For example, I have two dates, One is a start date and end date. My start date is 2019-04-02 and my end date is 2019-05-16 I need all the date in between these two dates.

My output will be ["2019-04-02", "2019-04-03", "2019-04-04", ..., "2019-05-16"] is it possible in moment js ?

Do you already have a data on which you want to apply start and end date or you just want to generate an array of dates between two given dates ? — Utsav Patel, Apr 01 '19 at 09:55
There's a high activity question from ~5 years prior, asking the exact same thing (with better "this is what I tried" question) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23795522/how-to-enumerate-dates-between-two-dates-in-moment — Daryn, Jan 24 '21 at 08:15

This should work, but for the next time remember to add what you tried, before posting a question

var day1 = moment("2019-05-01");
var day2 = moment("2019-04-06");
var result = [moment({...day2})];

while(day1.date() != day2.date()){
  day2.add(1, 'day');
  result.push(moment({ ...day2 }));  
}
console.log(result.map(x => x.format("YYYY-MM-DD")));

    var dates = [];
    var startDate = moment('2019-04-02', 'YYYY-MM-DD');
    dates.push(startDate.format('YYYY-MM-DD'));          
    while(!startDate.isSame('2019-05-16')){
        startDate = startDate.add(1, 'days');
        dates.push(startDate.format('YYYY-MM-DD'));
    }

    console.log(dates);

Something like the following would work. We set our start and end date, create an empty array and loop through the days by adding a day per iteration, and adding the current day to our list.

var start = moment("2019-01-01")
var end = moment("2019-01-30");

var list = [];

for (var current = start; current <= end; current.add(1, 'd')) {
    list.push(current.format("YYYY-MM-DD"))
}

var enumerateDaysBetweenDates = function(startDate, endDate) {
var dates = [];

var currDate = moment(startDate).startOf('day');
var lastDate = moment(endDate).startOf('day');

while(currDate.add(1, 'days').diff(lastDate) < 0) {
    console.log(currDate.toDate());
    dates.push(currDate.clone().toDate());
}

return dates;

};
