how to compare two dates in javascript without time 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
}

start 		= startDate.getTime();
end 		= endDate.getTime();
current 	= date.getTime();

if (start <= current && current <= end) {
  // do something here
}
