Difference between two dates moment.js

I have a formatted date that comes as a string "19/04/2018" I need to compare it with the date today and know how many days have passed.

I'm trying it this way but it does not work properly.

var stringDate =  $scope.dataAddOutpatient.date; //Return "19/04/2018" 
var today = moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY");
var date = moment(stringDate);

//Difference in number of days
var dates = moment.duration(date.diff(today)).asDays();

Always return 0. What's wrong?

In the examples that I have seen compare objects of type string and I need to compare it with an object of type moment.

$('#test').click(function() {
    var startDate = moment("13/04/2016", "DD/MM/YYYY");
	var currenDate = moment(new Date()).format("DD/MM/YYYY");
	var endDate = moment(currenDate, "DD/MM/YYYY");
    var result = 'Diff: ' + endDate.diff(startDate, 'days');
    $('#result').html(result);
});
#test {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  background: #ffb;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 2px solid #999;
}

var toDay= moment();
var startDate = moment('2017-11-09');
console.log('Milliseconds:',toDay.diff(startDate));
console.log('days:', toDay.diff(startDate, 'days'), 'days');
console.log('months:', toDay.diff(startDate, 'months'));

Based on the the moment.js documentation, Let's check what they suggest:

var dateA = moment([2007, 0, 29]);
var dateB = moment([2007, 0, 28]);
dateA.diff(dateB, 'days'); // result is 1

Try this way, might this resolved your issue.
