Momentjs:moment errors

help
1

Hi there - I’m having quite a perplexing issue that I can’t figure out.

I have a virgin project on 1.2.1 using the momentjs:moment package from Atmosphere.

When I call moment() in the browser console, I get a valid response, however, when I call moment() in code, then I get the following error in the console: Uncaught TypeError: m._d.getTime is not a function.

I’ve used moment before in previous projects with no problem, so I’m not sure why this isn’t working with a brand new project.

Any ideas?

How are you calling moment() in your code? Can you show us an example?

Sure. Here’s an example of the Method I tried on the server:

Template.hello.events({
‘click button’: function () {
var searchdate = moment().subtract(7, ‘day’)
Meteor.call(‘getPickups’,searchdate, function(err, data) {
if (err) console.log(err)
console.log(data)
})

}

});
}

Arguments to Meteor.call() need to be EJSON objects. Try passing the date in a different format, like unix offset:

var searchdate = moment().subtract(7, 'day').valueOf();

That didn’t work, but what did was:

var searchdate = moment().subtract(7, ‘day’).format(“YYYY-MM-DD”)

I don’t believe I’ve ever had to do it this way before, but at least it’s working now. Thanks!

This will send searchdate as String. You can try to convert it to Javascript Date like this:

var searchdate = moment().subtract(7, 'day').toDate()
