Question

Is it possible to tell the difference between 2 ember-date time objects in days?

For example, if I have the following 2 date objects

var start_date = Ember.DateTime.parse(app.start_date, '%Y-%m-%d');
var end_date = Ember.DateTime.parse(app.end_date, '%Y-%m-%d');

I can tell which one is greater than the other like this:

Ember.DateTime.compareDate(end_date, start_date);

But is there a way of getting the difference in days?

Answer 1

I am not sure there is an API to get difference in days (something like in JodaTime).
I know that Ember.DateTime basically extends the regular js Date so you can do something like:

var date1 = Ember.DateTime.create({ hour: 5, timezone: 300 });
var date2 = Ember.DateTime.create({ hour: 10, timezone: 0 });
var timeDiff = Math.abs(date2.getTime() - date1.getTime());
var diffDays = Math.ceil(timeDiff / (1000 * 3600 * 24)); 
alert(diffDays)​; 

Hope it helps…
