In Moment.js, how do you get the current financial Quarter?

Question

Is there a simple/built in way of figuring out the current financial quarter?

ex:

• Jan-Mar: 1st
• Apr-Jul: 2nd
• Jul-Sept: 3rd

Answer 1

There is nothing built in right now, but there is conversation to add formatting tokens for quarters. https://github.com/timrwood/moment/pull/540

In the meantime, you could use something like the following.

Math.floor(moment().month() / 3) + 1;

Or, if you want it on the moment prototype, do this.

moment.fn.quarter = function () {
    return Math.floor(this.month() / 3) + 1;
}

Answer 2

START DATE

moment().quarter(moment().quarter()).startOf('quarter');

Would return the current quarter with the date set to the quarter starting date.

moment("2019", "YYYY").quarter(4).startOf('quarter');

Would return the starting date of the 4th quarter of the year "2019".

moment().startOf('quarter');

Would return the starting date of the current quarter of current year.

END DATE

moment().quarter(moment().quarter()).endOf('quarter');

Would return the current quarter with the date set to quarter ending date.

moment("2019", "YYYY").quarter(4).endOf('quarter');

Would return the ending date of the 4th quarter of the year "2019".

moment().endOf('quarter');

Would return the ending date of the current quarter of current year.

Answer 3

The simplist way to do this is

Math.floor(moment.month() / 3)

That will give you the zero based quarter index. ie 0, 1, 2, or 3.

Then, if you want the quarter's literal number, just add one.
