Get the first day of the current year using Moment.js

Question

I have two input fields to search between dates. I want the start date to default to the first day of the current year and the end date to default to today. I have the end date but I am unsure of how to get it to display the start.

var defaultStart = var defaultEnd = moment((new Date()).valueOf()); $('#searchStart').val(defaultStart.format('DD/MM/YYYY')); $('#searchEnd').val(defaultEnd.format('DD/MM/YYYY')); 

Answer 1

You could do this:

moment().startOf('year'); 

format by doing something like this:

moment().startOf('year').format('MM/DD/YYYY');
