Moment.js wrong calc from now

I want to show the difference between the date I enter and the current one. For this I am doing that:

$("#news").append(

            "<h5>"+moment(["2018-03-27 12:18:41"]).fromNow()+"</h5>"

            );

However, momentjs prints: '4 months ago' and it is yesterday date

Maybe you know why?

The date you mentioned in the question is a date of March, which is definitely not yesterday. Moreover, you need to pass the date string itself to the moment() constructor; don't wrap it in an array:

moment("2018-03-27 12:18:41").fromNow()

MomentJS uses the arrayed format for special cases, where you need to pass year, month, and day as separate integers. Additionally, as @charlietfl mentioned, passing the date format will ensure correct date parsing:

moment("2018-03-27 12:18:41", "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss").fromNow()
