I am new to moment.js. I have a date object and it has some time associated with it. I just want to check if that date is greater than or equal to today\'s date,
The docs are pretty clear that you pass in a second parameter to specify granularity.
If you want to limit the granularity to a unit other than milliseconds, pass the units as the second parameter.
moment('2010-10-20').isAfter('2010-01-01', 'year'); // false moment('2010-10-20').isAfter('2009-12-31', 'year'); // true
As the second parameter determines the precision, and not just a single value to check, using day will check for year, month and day.
For your case you would pass 'day'
as the second parameter.
You could use startOf('day')
method to compare just the date
Example :
var dateToCompare = moment("06/04/2015 18:30:00");
var today = moment(new Date());
dateToCompare.startOf('day').isSame(today.startOf('day'));
Meanwhile you can use the isSameOrAfter
method:
moment('2010-10-20').isSameOrAfter('2010-10-20', 'day');
Docs: https://momentjs.com/docs/#/query/is-same-or-after/
For checking one date is after another by using isAfter()
method.
moment('2020-01-20').isAfter('2020-01-21'); // false
moment('2020-01-20').isAfter('2020-01-19'); // true
For checking one date is before another by using isBefore()
method.
moment('2020-01-20').isBefore('2020-01-21'); // true
moment('2020-01-20').isBefore('2020-01-19'); // false
For checking one date is same as another by using isSame()
method.
moment('2020-01-20').isSame('2020-01-21'); // false
moment('2020-01-20').isSame('2020-01-20'); // true
In my case i did following code for compare 2 dates may it will help you ...
var date1 = "2010-10-20";
var date2 = "2010-10-20";
var time1 = moment(date1).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
var time2 = moment(date2).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
if(time2 > time1){
console.log('date2 is Greter than date1');
}else if(time2 > time1){
console.log('date2 is Less than date1');
}else{
console.log('Both date are same');
}
