Getting the month number by month name with Moment.js

Question

I am trying to return the month number passing the month name using MomentJS. For example if I pass "July" to moment() I would expect 7 to be returned.

After reading through the docs I tried several different ways, and this way came close...

console.log(moment().month("July")); 

In the console, buried in the response I could see this...

_monthsParse: Array[7] 

Could anyone please tell me how to return the month number using MomentJS correctly?

Answer 1

Try :

moment().month("July").format("M"); 

Relevant documentation: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/get-set/month/

alert(moment().month("July").format("M"));
