underscore.js - Find the earliest of a series of JavaScript dates -

how find earliest of set of dates. have following code works fine:

var dates = [date1,date2]; // list of javascript dates  var start = moment(new date(9999, 0, 1)) // wished 1 line in momentjs + underscorejs _.foreach(dates, (date) => {       if (moment(date).isbefore(start)) {             start = moment(date);       } }); 

i hoping there neater way (in 1 line). prefer use simpler function in underscore (min not work on dates) / momentjs.

i found _.min reliable on moment instances. following works:

    var dates = _.map([date1,date2],function(date){return moment(date)});     var start = _.min(dates);     

nevermind.
