Moment.js moment().toObject() Method

The moment().toObject() method is used to return the Moment object as a JavaScript object with the date parameters in the properties.

Syntax:

moment().toObject();

Parameters: This method does not accept any parameters:

Return Value: This method returns the duration as a JavaScript Object.

Installation of moment module:

npm install moment

The below examples will demonstrate the Moment.js moment().toObject() Method.

Example 1:

Javascript

const moment = require('moment');

let momentOne = moment();
let momentTwo = moment()
                .add(15, 'months')
                .add(10, 'days')
                .add(24, 'seconds');

console.log(
    "Object form of momentOne is:",
    momentOne.toObject()
)
console.log(
    "Object form of momentTwo is:",
    momentTwo.toObject()
)

Output:

Object form of momentOne is: {
  years: 2022,
  months: 6,
  date: 10,
  hours: 23,
  minutes: 36,
  seconds: 3,
  milliseconds: 659
}
Object form of momentTwo is: {
  years: 2023,
  months: 9,
  date: 20,
  hours: 23,
  minutes: 36,
  seconds: 27,
  milliseconds: 659
}

Example 2:

Javascript

const moment = require('moment');

let momentA = moment(
    '25/12/2022', 'DD/MM/YYYY'
);
let momentB = moment({
    year: 2017, month: 5, day: 4,
    hour: 1, minute: 15, second: 30,
    millisecond: 100
});

console.log(
    "Object form of momentA is:",
    momentA.toObject()
)
console.log(
    "Object form of momentB is:",
    momentB.toObject()
)

Output:

Object form of momentA is: {
  years: 2022,
  months: 11,
  date: 25,
  hours: 0,
  minutes: 0,
  seconds: 0,
  milliseconds: 0
}
Object form of momentB is: {
  years: 2017,
  months: 5,
  date: 4,
  hours: 1,
  minutes: 15,
  seconds: 30,
  milliseconds: 100
