Why moment().startOf('day') shows as Moment<2020-05-01T00:00:00+02:00>, in Nodejs ??
I want to show the date only, how to get the date only without Moment word and < > symbols.. !

1Because you get a Moment object. If you want to display that in a particular date format, read [the docs](https://momentjs.com/docs/) on how to do that. – jonrsharpe May 18 '20 at 13:41

do you want the plain js `Date` of that certain moment? – sandrooco May 18 '20 at 13:42

How to get the date only, from this object? – itneg May 18 '20 at 13:42

@sandrooco , I need start and end of the day.. – itneg May 18 '20 at 13:43

Well what does the documentation say? What have you tried? What specific output do you need (e.g. a string `"2020-05-01"`)? – jonrsharpe May 18 '20 at 13:43

BTW: I can really recommend the `date-fns` library. It's way smaller than moment and uses the plain `Date`. – sandrooco May 18 '20 at 13:43

Does this answer your question? [Moment.js transform to date object](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17987647/moment-js-transform-to-date-object) – sandrooco May 18 '20 at 13:44

So startOf() returns a moment object, what you're wanting to do is some kind of format of the output object.
console.log(moment()
.endOf('day')
.toISOString()) // 2020-05-18T21:59:59.999Z

From the question, it seems like OP wants the string. But you're right, shouldn't assume – Skaleb May 18 '20 at 13:45

In fact I needed endOf and startOf day in milliseconds or epoch format, made this solution `+moment().startOf('day') ` But yes this solves the question I made, removes the `Moment< >` and gives the date only.. – itneg May 18 '20 at 14:03
