duration(date1, date2)

Returns the timespan between two Date objects (in milliseconds). Returns a negative value, if date2 is earlier than date1. Use Math.abs() if you exclusively want positive results.

Example:

If you have two Dates like this:

const start = new Date(1939, 8, 1);
const end = new Date(1945, 8, 2);

This will calculate the timespan between these two dates and give back the result in milliseconds:

let duration = gmynd.duration(start, end);

// returns: 189468000000
