Javascript - get array of dates between 2 dates

Date.prototype.addDays = function(days) {
    var date = new Date(this.valueOf());
    date.setDate(date.getDate() + days);
    return date;
}

function getDates(startDate, stopDate) {
    var dateArray = new Array();
    var currentDate = startDate;
    while (currentDate <= stopDate) {
        dateArray.push(new Date (currentDate));
        currentDate = currentDate.addDays(1);
    }
    return dateArray;
}

Here is a functional demo http://jsfiddle.net/jfhartsock/cM3ZU/


I looked all the ones above. Ended up writing myself. You do not need momentjs for this. A native for loop is enough and makes most sense because a for loop exists to count values in a range.

One Liner:

var getDaysArray = function(s,e) {for(var a=[],d=new Date(s);d<=e;d.setDate(d.getDate()+1)){ a.push(new Date(d));}return a;};

Long Version

var getDaysArray = function(start, end) {
    for(var arr=[],dt=new Date(start); dt<=end; dt.setDate(dt.getDate()+1)){
        arr.push(new Date(dt));
    }
    return arr;
};

List dates in between:

var daylist = getDaysArray(new Date("2018-05-01"),new Date("2018-07-01"));
daylist.map((v)=>v.toISOString().slice(0,10)).join("")
/*
Output: 
    "2018-05-01
    2018-05-02
    2018-05-03
    ...
    2018-06-30
    2018-07-01"
*/

Days from a past date until now:

var daylist = getDaysArray(new Date("2018-05-01"),new Date());
daylist.map((v)=>v.toISOString().slice(0,10)).join("")

Try this, remember to include moment js,

function getDates(startDate, stopDate) {
    var dateArray = [];
    var currentDate = moment(startDate);
    var stopDate = moment(stopDate);
    while (currentDate <= stopDate) {
        dateArray.push( moment(currentDate).format('YYYY-MM-DD') )
        currentDate = moment(currentDate).add(1, 'days');
    }
    return dateArray;
}

I use moment.js and Twix.js they provide a very great support for date and time manpulation

var itr = moment.twix(new Date('2012-01-15'),new Date('2012-01-20')).iterate("days");
var range=[];
while(itr.hasNext()){
    range.push(itr.next().toDate())
}
console.log(range);

I have this running on http://jsfiddle.net/Lkzg1bxb/


var boxingDay = new Date("12/26/2010");
var nextWeek  = boxingDay*1 + 7*24*3600*1000;

function getDates( d1, d2 ){
  var oneDay = 24*3600*1000;
  for (var d=[],ms=d1*1,last=d2*1;ms<last;ms+=oneDay){
    d.push( new Date(ms) );
  }
  return d;
}

getDates( boxingDay, nextWeek ).join("\n");
