Answer 1

A few options based on what you want to do:

var date1 = moment('2016-10-08 10:29:23');
var date2 = moment('2016-10-09 11:06:55');
var diff = date2.diff(date1);

var duration = moment.duration(diff);

console.log(duration.humanize(true));
// "in a day"

console.log(`${duration.days()}d ${duration.hours()}h ${duration.minutes()}m`);
// "1d 0h 37m"

console.log(duration.asHours());
// 24.625555555555554
