Compare two dates with JavaScript

Question

Can someone suggest a way to compare the values of two dates greater than, less than, and not in the past using JavaScript? The values will be coming from text boxes.

Answer 1

If you want to compare two dates with JavaScript then compare them using the >, <, <= or >= operators.

If you want to use the ==, !=, ===, and !== operators then it will require you to use date.getTime() see the code below:-

var d1 = new Date();

var d2 = new Date(d1);

var same = d1.getTime() === d2.getTime();

var notSame = d1.getTime() !== d2.getTime();
