how to comapre two date in js code example

Example 1: compare dates in js

var date1 = new Date('December 25, 2017 01:30:00');
var date2 = new Date('June 18, 2016 02:30:00');

//best to use .getTime() to compare dates
if(date1.getTime() === date2.getTime()){
    //same date
}

if(date1.getTime() > date2.getTime()){
    //date 1 is newer
}

Example 2: javascript compare dates

let d1 = new Date();
let d2 = new Date();
// can use >, <, <=, <=
d1 > d2
d1 >= d2
// == won't work so can use this:
(d1 >= d2) && (d2 >= d1)
