Get the first and last date of the previous month in JQuery

Question

I have this script,

 var today = new Date();
 var dd = today.getDate();
 var ffffd = today.getDate()-1;
 var ffffdd = today.getDate()-2;

 var mm = today.getMonth()+         


        

Answer 1

A convenient trick to get the end of last month is the take current date and use setDate(0). Then use that that to create a new date object and setDate(1) for beginning of the month

var prevMonthEnd = new Date();
prevMonthEnd.setDate(0);
var beginLastMonth = new Date(prevMonthEnd);
beginLastMonth.setDate(1);


console.log([beginLastMonth.toString(), prevMonthEnd.toString()])
