Get month name from two digit month number

Question

I want to get month name from two digit month number (ex- 09). I tried with this code. But it doesn't work. The code give current month name only. What are the correct code for it?

 var formattedMonth = moment().month('09').format('MMMM'); 

Answer 1

While there's nothing wrong with Kevin's answer, it is probably more correct (in terms of efficiency) to obtain the month string without going through a moment object.

var monthNum = 9;   // assuming Jan = 1 var monthName = moment.months(monthNum - 1);      // "September" var shortName = moment.monthsShort(monthNum - 1); // "Sep" 

Answer 2

You want to pass the month when you create the Moment object:

var formattedMonth = moment('09', 'MM').format('MMMM'); // September  moment(     '09',           // Desired month     'MM'            // Tells MomentJs the number is a reference to month ).format('MMMM')    // Formats month as name
