.day() returns wrong day of month with Moment.js

Question

I am using Moment.js to parse a string and get the day, month and year separately:

var date = moment("12-25-1995", "MM-DD-YYYY"); var day = date.day();         

However, day is not 25—it's 1. What is the correct API method?

Answer 1

The correct function to use is .date():

date.date() === 25; 

.day() gives you the day of the week. This works similarly to javascript's .getDate() and .getDay() functions on the date object.

If you want to get the month and year, you can use the .month() and .year() functions.
