moment-countdown is a tiny Moment.js plugin that integrates with Countdown.js. The file is here. The NPM is moment-countdown.

It's worth noting that the actual source is literally three lines of code, so if including this as a dependency is somehow annoying, you should consider reading it and just implementing it yourself or copying and pasting it into your app (you'll still need Countdown and Moment, natch).

//from then until now
moment("1982-05-25").countdown().toString(); //=> '30 years, 10 months, 14 days, 1 hour, 8 minutes, and 14 seconds'

//accepts a moment, JS Date, ISO-8601 string, or any other single arg taken my Moment's constructor
moment("1955-08-21").countdown("1982-05-25").toString(); //=> '26 years, 9 months, and 4 days'

//also works with the args flipped, like diff()
moment("1982-05-25").countdown("1955-08-21").toString(); //=> '26 years, 9 months, and 4 days'

//accepts all of countdown's options
moment().countdown("1982-05-25", countdown.MONTHS|countdown.WEEKS, NaN, 2).toString(); //=> '370 months, and 2.01 weeks'

See Countdown's documentation for descriptions of those extra options.

Grab moment.js, countdown.js, and moment-countdown.js. Then inside your header:

<script src="moment.min.js"></script>
<script src="countdown.min.js"></script>
<script src="moment-countdown.min.js"></script>

And you're off to the races.

npm install moment-countdown

You should also have Moment and Countdown installed, which you do like this:

npm install moment countdown

In your node code:

require('moment-countdown');
