How do you detect if a date object instance in JavaScript refers to the same day of another date object?
How do you detect if a date object instance in JavaScript refers to the same day of another date object?
JavaScript does not provide this functionality in its standard library, but you can implement it using the methods
getDate()
returns the daygetMonth()
returns the monthgetFullYear()
returns the 4-digits year
This is a simple function you can copy/paste to do the check:
const datesAreOnSameDay = (first, second) =>
first.getFullYear() === second.getFullYear() &&
first.getMonth() === second.getMonth() &&
first.getDate() === second.getDate();
Example usage:
datesAreOnSameDay(new Date(), new Date()) //true
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
