If you need an array of moment objects

function constructListOfIntervals(start, end, interval) {
  var intervals = [];
  while (moment(end).diff(start, interval, true) > 0) {
    intervals.push(moment(start).endOf(interval));
    start = moment(moment(start).add(1, interval));
  }
  return intervals;
}

Hey you missed import moment. This solution not working as expected.

Sorry, my bad. I had this as a function from a bigger module where I was importing moment at the beginning and I just copy-pasted the function here. I updated the gist. :)

If you need an array of moment objects

function constructListOfIntervals(start, end, interval) {
  var intervals = [];
  while (moment(end).diff(start, interval, true) > 0) {
    intervals.push(moment(start).endOf(interval));
    start = moment(moment(start).add(1, interval));
  }
  return intervals;
}

I tried yours but its returning an array of the starting date. The below code worked for me. Remove the type to make it in js.

function constructListOfIntervals(start:Moment, end:Moment, interval:string) {

    var intervals = [];
    const diffUnitOfTime: string = `${interval}s`;
    while (moment(end).diff(start, diffUnitOfTime) >= 0) {
        intervals.push(moment(start));
        start = moment(moment(start).add(1, diffUnitOfTime)).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
      }
      return intervals;

  }

let startDate = moment('2020-06-21');
let endDate = moment('2020-07-15');
let date = [];

for (var m = moment(startDate); m.isBefore(endDate); m.add(1, 'days')) {
date.push(m.format('YYYY-MM-DD'));
}

console.log(date)
