parse platform - Trouble using the Moment module

Question

Here is some Parse cloud code I am having problem with:

var moment = require('moment');

Parse.Cloud.define
("myCloudFunction", function(request, response)
 {
    var now = moment();
    var later = moment("2017-07-09T20:00:00");
    var x = 7;
    if (later.isAfter(now)) x = x-1;
    else x = x+1;
    console.log(x);
 });

I get this error message when I run it:

Error: TypeError: Object Sun Jul 09 2017 20:00:00 GMT+0000 (UTC) has no method 'isAfter' at main.js:406:12 (Code: 141, Version: 1.2.18)

Of course I have simplified things to come to the point of my question.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

The hosted version of moment.js file used by Cloud Code is stuck at version 1.7.2 and the isAfter method is 2.0+.

Download a new copy of moment.js and put it in your cloud/ folder, then require it like this:

var moment = require('cloud/moment.js');
