javascript compare two dates

1var date1 = new Date('December 25, 2017 01:30:00');
2var date2 = new Date('June 18, 2016 02:30:00');

4//best to use .getTime() to compare dates
5if(date1.getTime() === date2.getTime()){
6    //same date
7}
8
9if(date1.getTime() > date2.getTime()){
10    //date 1 is newer
11}

1var date1 = new Date('December 25, 2017 01:30:00');
2var date2 = new Date('June 18, 2016 02:30:00');

1// solution is convert date to time by getTime()
2start 		= startDate.getTime();
3end 		= endDate.getTime();
4current 	= date.getTime();

6if (start <= current && current <= end) {
7  // do something here
8}

1let myDate = new Date("January 13, 2021 12:00:00");
2let yourDate = new Date("January 13, 2021 15:00:00");
3
4if (myDate < yourDate) {
5  console.log("myDate is less than yourDate"); // will be printed
6}
7if (myDate > yourDate) {
8  console.log("myDate is greater than yourDate");
9}

1let d1 = new Date();
2let d2 = new Date();
3// can use >, <, <=, <=
4d1 > d2
5d1 >= d2
6// == won't work so can use this:
7(d1 >= d2) && (d2 >= d1)
