/* DateDayDifference Method ------------------------ DateDayDifference method calculates the number of days between two dates. Algorithm & Explanation : https://ncalculators.com/time-date/date-difference-calculator.htm */ // Internal method for make calculations easier const isLeap = (year) => { if (year % 400 === 0) return true else if (year % 100 === 0) return false else if (year % 4 === 0) return true else return false } const DateToDay = (dd, mm, yyyy) => { return Math.floor((365 * (yyyy - 1)) + ((yyyy - 1) / 4) - ((yyyy - 1) / 100) + ((yyyy - 1) / 400) + dd + (((367 * mm) - 362) / 12) + (mm <= 2 ? 0 : isLeap(yyyy) ? -1 : -2)) } const DateDayDifference = (date1, date2) => { // firstly, check that both input are string or not. if (typeof date1 !== 'string' && typeof date2 !== 'string') { return new TypeError('Argument is not a string.') } // extract the first date const [firstDateDay, firstDateMonth, firstDateYear] = date1.split('/').map((ele) => Number(ele)) // extract the second date const [secondDateDay, secondDateMonth, secondDateYear] = date2.split('/').map((ele) => Number(ele)) // check the both data are valid or not. if (firstDateDay < 0 || firstDateDay > 31 || firstDateMonth > 12 || firstDateMonth < 0 || secondDateDay < 0 || secondDateDay > 31 || secondDateMonth > 12 || secondDateMonth < 0) { return new TypeError('Date is not valid.') } return Math.abs(DateToDay(secondDateDay, secondDateMonth, secondDateYear) - DateToDay(firstDateDay, firstDateMonth, firstDateYear)) } // Example : DateDayDifference('17/08/2002', '10/10/2020') => 6630 export { DateDayDifference }
