In this article, you will learn how to Compare Dates in Javascript.

Let’s say you have two dates: 14 / 2 / 2020 and 14 / 2 / 2021.

var date1 = new Date(2021, 02, 14);
var date2 = new Date(2020, 02, 14);

In order to compare dates, you can use the getTime() method and a strict equality comparison ===.

var date1 = new Date(2021, 02, 14);
var date2 = new Date(2020, 02, 14);

if (date1.getTime() === date2.getTime())
   console.log("The dates are equal");
else
   console.log("The dates are not equal");

Note: The getTime method functions by returning the number of milliseconds between the midnight of 1/1/1970 and the supplied date.
