compare dates in javascript

To compare two dates in JavaScript, you can use the Date objects and their methods. The comparison operator (== or ===) does not work with dates, you have to use other methods.

First, convert both dates to milliseconds using the getTime() method. Then, you can compare these values with the comparison operators.

Here is an example:

index.tsx
const date1 = new Date('2022-06-30');
const date2 = new Date('2022-06-29');

if (date1.getTime() === date2.getTime()) {
  console.log('The dates are equal');
} else if (date1.getTime() > date2.getTime()) {
  console.log('Date 1 is greater');
} else {
  console.log('Date 2 is greater');
}

In this example, we create two Date objects with different values. Then we use the getTime() method to get the values of the dates in milliseconds, and we compare these values to determine which date is greater.

Note that the getTime() method returns a value in milliseconds, so if you need to compare dates with a precision greater than milliseconds, you need to use other methods.
