Stop using Moment.js for Dates — This is the Better Alternative
Working with the Date object in JavaScript can be a real hassle! If you’re not using a ready-made date library, you can look forward to spending a lot of hours being frustrated.
Lucky for us developers, there are awesome people doing libraries to make working with dates in JavaScript much easier.
