Moment.js how to display the correct date passed from the time to date today

I am new with JavaScript programming and starting to use available libraries I want to display minutes, hours, days, week, months, or year passed since a blog post has been posted.

My date format is below which is stored on a obj.create_at.

2018-09-12 13:12:19

And I am using the moment method below.

moment(obj.create_at, "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss").fromNow()

But my output is below, which it's not including the whole date.

5 hours ago

Are there any parameters or method that i can use to achieve the correct date/time passed that I should include? Any suggestion would be great!

You can use concatenation to achieve that goal. Here's an example to get the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years passed. Hope it helps you mate.

let createdAt = '2018-09-12 13:12:19';

let data = moment(createdAt, "YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss");

let mins = moment().diff(data, 'minutes');
let hours = moment().diff(data, 'days');
let days = moment().diff(data, 'days');
let weeks = moment().diff(data, 'days');
let months = moment().diff(data, 'days');
let years = moment().diff(data, 'years');

console.log("minutes passed: "+mins)
console.log("hours passed: "+hours)
console.log("days passed: "+days)
console.log("weeks passed: "+weeks)
console.log("months passed: "+months)
console.log("years passed: "+years)

The API is not meant for your requirement. But still you can tweak it as required by doing string concatenation

That particular function always will return some type of "blabla time ago" type of format, as stated in their docs: fromNow
