Solution 1

Could fetch it from browser console like this:

fetch('https://momentjs.com/downloads/moment.min.js')
    .then(response => response.text())
    .then(text => eval(text))

Then you could use it normally there

Solution 2

If the library was not imported in the regular form you can't access it; if you want to use moment() in the Chrome console you can try to open the official site and then go to the console.

In the console you can write something like

moment("20111031", "YYYYMMDD").fromNow();

I am working on ionic2 project. I have just start using moment.js but I have a weird issue. I have installed in via npm: npm install moment -S.

Then I have used it in my code:
```
import moment from 'moment'
...
let x = moment()
debugger
```
On the console I get this funny issue:
```
> x
< Moment {_isAMomentObject: true, _isUTC: false, _pf: {…}, _locale: Locale, _d: Wed Jun 27 2018 12:06:23, …}
> y = moment()
< VM770:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: moment is not defined

```
Why can't I work with moment within the console?

  Since moment() is no longer used in this context ("debugger" is the last line), V8 optimized it away in this context, I guess.

  I have added let y = moment() after debugger. Same error.

  If you haven't already, maybe running node in the terminal and requiring moment in there. This is how I did it.

  Can you post the transpiled version of this code? Maybe it will lead to some answers,
