How to Compare Dates Without Time in JavaScript
If you want to compare two dates in JavaScript without using the time aspect, you should use the toDateString() method.
It returns the date portion of the Date object as a string.
From there, you can compare the two strings:
const date1 = new Date('2000-06-25');
const date2 = new Date('2000-06-25');
date1 === date2; // false
date1.toDateString() === date2.toDateString(); // trueHandling Time Zones
If you want to determine if two dates are on the same day in a specific timezone, you should use toLocaleDateString() for better timezone support.
Make sure to set the timeZone option so JavaScript knows what time zone to use when converting the date to a string, as the default is implementation dependent.
When specifying the timeZone option, you cannot leave the locales argument blank.
Either put in your preferred locale or put in undefined, as undefined is the default argument when you omit all arguments to the function.
const date1 = new Date('14 Jun 2017 23:00:00 PDT');
const date2 = new Date('14 Jun 2017 18:00:00 PDT');
date1.toLocaleDateString(undefined, {timeZone: 'America/New_York'}) === date2.toLocaleDateString(undefined, {timeZone: 'America/New_York'})); // false; 6/15/2017 != 6/14/2017
date1.toLocaleDateString("en-US", {timeZone: 'America/Los_Angeles'}) === date2.toLocaleDateString("en-US", {timeZone: 'America/Los_Angeles'}) ; // true; 6/14/2017 === 6/14/2017
