Showing result is

also i have tried xxx.months(), but it's return result is 7

but i want jan,feb,mar,......dec. hmm What can i do?

Answer 1

There happens to be a function for that:

moment.monthsShort() // ["Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep","Oct","Nov","Dec"] 

Or the same using manual formatting:

Array.apply(0, Array(12)).map(function(_,i){return moment().month(i).format('MMM')}) 

I guess you want to display all names utilizing Moment.js locale data, which is a reasonable approach.

Answer 2

Using moment.js you have the following methods:

moment.months() // long names 

returns:

[ 'January',   'February',   'March',   'April',   'May',   'June',   'July',   'August',   'September',   'October',   'November',   'December' ] 

and

moment.monthsShort() // short names 

returns:

["Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"]
