In JavaScript, there are ways to compare dates as well as methods that will not work.
For example, if we have:
var date1 = new Date("2018-01-01 00:00");
var date2 = new Date("2018-01-01 00:00");
if (date1 == date2)
console.log("equal")
else
console.log("not equal")
This will print:
If we print both dates to the console, we will see they are exactly the same (note the date is different from what was supplied – 2018-01-01:
However these are not the same as the date objects are being compared.
To compare the dates, use:
var date1 = new Date("2018-01-01 00:00");
var date2 = new Date("2018-01-01 00:00");
if (date1.getTime() == date2.getTime())
console.log("equal")
else
console.log("not equal")
This returns:
