How to get last day of the month

Question

How can I obtain the last day of the month with the timestamp being 11:59:59 PM?

Answer 1

Sometimes all you have is a text version of the current month, ie: April 2017.

//first and last of the current month
var current_month = "April 2017";
var arrMonth = current_month.split(" ");
var first_day = new Date(arrMonth[0] + " 1 " + arrMonth[1]);

//even though I already have the values, I'm using date functions to get year and month
//because month is zero-based
var last_day = new Date(first_day.getFullYear(), first_day.getMonth() + 1, 0, 23, 59, 59);

//use moment,js to format       
var start = moment(first_day).format("YYYY-MM-DD");
var end = moment(last_day).format("YYYY-MM-DD");
