Find objects between two dates MongoDB

Question

I\'ve been playing around storing tweets inside mongodb, each object looks like this:

{
\"_id\" : ObjectId(\"4c02c58de500fe1be1000005\"),
\"contributors\" :          


        

Answer 1

Using with Moment.js and Comparison Query Operators

  var today = moment().startOf('day');
  // "2018-12-05T00:00:00.00
  var tomorrow = moment(today).endOf('day');
  // ("2018-12-05T23:59:59.999

  Example.find(
  {
    // find in today
    created: { '$gte': today, '$lte': tomorrow }
    // Or greater than 5 days
    // created: { $lt: moment().add(-5, 'days') },
  }), function (err, docs) { ... });

Why not convert the string to an integer of the form YYYYMMDDHHMMSS? Each increment of time would then create a larger integer, and you can filter on the integers instead of worrying about converting to ISO time.
