Catching the months between two dates with Javascript

Recently I needed to set up a project to download files with names that followed a monthly pattern and for that I set up a dynamic function to make it easier. Leave your comment if you have found/made another solution!

function dateRange(startDate, endDate) { var start = startDate.split(’-’); var end = endDate.split(’-’); var startYear = parseInt(start[0] ); var endYear = parseInt(end[0] ); var dates =[] ;

for(var i = startYear; i <= endYear; i++) {
  var endMonth = i != endYear ? 11: parseInt(end\[1\] ) - 1;
  var startMon = i === startYear ? parseInt(start\[1\] )-1:0;
  for(var j = startMon; j <= endMonth; j = j > 12 ? j % 12 || 11 : j+1) {
    var month = j+1;
    var displayMonth = month < 10 ? '0'+month : month;
    dates.push(\[i, displayMonth, '01'\] .join('-'));
  }
}
return dates;

}

const dates = dateRange(‘2017-01-01’, ‘2019-07-01’); // Return: //[ ‘2017-01-01’, // ‘2017-02-01’, // ‘2017-03-01’, // ‘2017-04-01’, // ‘2017-05-01’, // ‘2017-06-01’, // ‘2017-07-01’, // ‘2017-08-01’, // ‘2017-09-01’, // ‘2017-10-01’, // ‘2017-11-01’, // ‘2017-12-01’, // ‘2018-01-01’, // ‘2018-02-01’, // ‘2018-03-01’, // ‘2018-04-01’, // ‘2018-05-01’, // ‘2018-06-01’, // ‘2018-07-01’, // ‘2018-08-01’, // ‘2018-09-01’, // ‘2018-10-01’, // ‘2018-11-01’, // ‘2018-12-01’, // ‘2019-01-01’, // ‘2019-02-01’, // ‘2019-03-01’, // ‘2019-04-01’, // ‘2019-05-01’, // ‘2019-06-01’, // ‘2019-07-01’]
