I've tried to use Modules.moment() within business logic, and cannot seem to get the isBefore() or isAfter() functions working.



I've tried with the following code:



function onRequest(request, response, modules){



var now = modules.moment();

var later = modules.moment().add('hours',1).add('days',1);



var output = "is Now before Later? by hour: " + now.isBefore(later, 'hours');

var output2 = "is Now before Later? in general: " + now.isBefore(later);

modules.logger.info(output + output2);



response.body = {"message": output+output2};

response.complete(200);

}



Any idea what the issue could be? Am I using the isBefore and isAfter incorrectly? I'm following the documentation provided by Kinvey and Moment.js.

Moment.js: http://momentjs.com/docs/#/query/is-before/



Thanks for your help anyone!

I keep getting false outputs on all isBefore, isAfter, and isSame calls no matter the input. I've even tried:



modules.moment().isSame(modules.moment())

-- and output => false

I think if You run modules.moment().isSame(modules.moment()) you should get a false output. Thats cause the declaration inside the isSame is made in a different time that the first one. (millisecs...)

Thanks Fabricio. Good reasoning, and it makes sense...



But..... if that holds up then isAfter should not be 'false' as well, which when I try... it is.



Also... if I add an entire day I still get a false for isAfter.



var now = modules.moment();

var later = modules.moment().add('hours',1).add('days',1);

var output = "is Now before Later? by hour: " + now.isBefore(later);



now.isBefore(later) => false //no idea why....

Business Logic is currently using version 2.0.x of moment, which is not the most recent version (due to some compatibility issues that we are working through.) There is a bug in this version of moment where isBefore and isAfter will not actually take a moment as a parameter and return the correct result. You can achieve what you want by converting that moment into a string:



var result = modules.moment().isAfter(modules.moment().format()); // returns true



Note that isAfter is applicable here, not isBefore, because the inner expression is evaluated first, before the outer expression.

You. are. awesome.



Thanks that worked like a charm, sending the format() value instead of just the moment() object. Not sure why i didn't try that before!
