假设你有两个Date对象，你可以减去它们，以毫秒为单位得到差值:

var difference = date2 - date1;

从那里，您可以使用简单的算术来推导其他值。

如果你使用的是moment.js，那么查找日期差异就很简单了。

var now  = "04/09/2013 15:00:00";
var then = "04/09/2013 14:20:30";

moment.utc(moment(now,"DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss").diff(moment(then,"DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss"))).format("HH:mm:ss")

function DateDiff(date1, date2) {
    date1.setHours(0);
    date1.setMinutes(0, 0, 0);
    date2.setHours(0);
    date2.setMinutes(0, 0, 0);
    var datediff = Math.abs(date1.getTime() - date2.getTime()); // difference 
    return parseInt(datediff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000), 10); //Convert values days and return value      
}

使用momentjs很简单:

moment("2016-04-08").fromNow();

抱歉，平毫秒计算不可靠 感谢所有的回复，但我尝试的功能很少失败 1. 一个接近今天的日期 2. 1970年或者 3.闰年的一天。

最适合我的方法，涵盖了所有场景，例如闰年，接近1970年的日期，2月29日等。

var someday = new Date("8/1/1985");
var today = new Date();
var years = today.getFullYear() - someday.getFullYear();

// Reset someday to the current year.
someday.setFullYear(today.getFullYear());

// Depending on when that day falls for this year, subtract 1.
if (today < someday)
{
    years--;
}
document.write("Its been " + years + " full years.");

这段代码将返回两个日期的差值(以天为单位):

const previous_date = new Date("2019-12-23");
const current_date = new Date();

const current_year = current_date.getFullYear();
const previous_date_year = 
previous_date.getFullYear();

const difference_in_years = current_year - 
previous_date_year;

let months = current_date.getMonth();
months = months + 1; // for making the indexing 
// of months from 1

for(let i = 0; i < difference_in_years; i++){
months = months + 12;
}

let days = current_date.getDate();

days = days + (months * 30.417);

console.log(`The days between ${current_date} and 
${previous_date} are : ${days} (approximately)`);
