more like this
exports.run = function(target_date) {
// find the amount of seconds between now and target date
var end_date = new Date(target_date).getTime();
var current_date = new Date().getTime();
var seconds_left = (end_date - current_date) / 1000;
// calculate days left, based on 86,400 seconds per day
var DaysToDate = parseInt(seconds_left / 86400);
return DaysToDate;
};
})();
all the best
