Answer 1

You have to format the date before passing onto $match aggregate.

Order.aggregate([
        {
          $match: {
            createdAt: {
              $gte: new Date(req.body.startDate),
              $lt: new Date(req.body.endDate)
            }
          }
        },
        {
          $lookup: {
            from: 'acbinstallerpayments',
            localField: "_id",
            foreignField: 'customerObjectID',
            as: 'installerPaymentDetails'
          }
        }
      ]);

Answer 2

I got it solved by removing the "" & $ prefix on the $date field of in $match. For you remove the same for $date, $gt & $lte

So that it should look like

db.transactions.aggregate(
{ "$match" : 
         { 
          'created_at': { 
                         $gt: "2001-04-12T12:00:00.000Z", 
                         $lt: "2020-04-13T12:00:00.000Z"
                        }
         }
});
