Moment JS - check if a date is today or in the future

Question

I am trying to use momentjs to check if a given date is today or in the future   This is what I have so far    lt script type  text javascript  src  http   momentjs com downloads moment min js  gt  lt  script gt   lt script type  text javascript  gt   var SpecialToDate    31 01 2014      DD MM YYYY  var SpecialTo   moment SpecialToDate   DD MM YYYY    if  moment   diff SpecialTo   gt  0        alert  date is today or in future      else       alert  date is in the past        lt  script gt    The code is evaluating my date  31st of Jan 2014  as a date in past    Any idea what I am doing wrong

After reading the documentation  http   momentjs com docs   displaying difference   you have to consider the diff function like a minus operator                         today  lt  future  31 01 2014  today diff future     today - future  lt  0 future diff today     future - today  gt  0   Therefore  you have to reverse your condition   If you want to check that all is fine  you can add an extra parameter to the function   moment   diff SpecialTo   days      -8  days

If you only need to know which one is bigger  you can also compare them directly   var SpecialToDate    31 01 2014      DD MM YYYY  var SpecialTo   moment SpecialToDate   DD MM YYYY    if  moment    gt  SpecialTo        alert  date is today or in future      else       alert  date is in the past        Hope this helps

You can use the isAfter   query function of momentjs   Check if a moment is after another moment   moment  2010-10-20   isAfter  2010-10-19       true   If you want to limit the granularity to a unit other than milliseconds  pass the units as the second parameter   moment  2010-10-20   isAfter  2010-01-01    year       false  moment  2010-10-20   isAfter  2009-12-31    year       true   http   momentjs com docs   query is-after

Simplest answer will be   const firstDate   moment  2020 10 14       the date to be checked const secondDate   moment  2020 10 15       the date to be checked  firstDate startOf  day   diff secondDate startOf  day     days       result   -1 secondDate startOf  day   diff firstDate startOf  day     days       result   1   It will check with the midnight value and will return an accurate result  It will work also when time diff between two dates is less than 24 hours also

Update moment   isSame  2010-02-01    day       Return true if we are the 2010-02-01  I have since found the isSame function  which in I believe is the correct function to use for figuring out if a date is today  Original answer Just in case someone else needs this  just do this  const isToday   moment 0   quot HH quot   diff date   quot days quot      0   or if you want a function  isToday   date   gt  moment 0  quot HH quot   diff date   quot days quot      0   Where date is the date you want to check for  Explanation moment 0   quot HH quot   returns today s day at midnight  date1 diff date2   quot days quot   returns the number of days between the date1 and date2

Since no one seems to have mentioned it yet  the simplest way to check if a Moment date object is in the past   momentObj isBefore     Or in the future   momentObj isAfter     Just leave the args blank -- that ll default to now   There s also isSameOrAfter and isSameOrBefore   N B  this factors in time  If you only care about the day  see Dipendu s answer

If we want difference without the time you can get the date different  only date without time  like below  using moment s format   As  I was facing issue with the difference while doing    moment   diff  YOUR DATE     So  came up with following   const dateValidate   moment moment   format  YYYY-MM-DD    diff moment  YOUR SELECTED DATE HERE   format  YYYY-MM-DD     IF dateValidate  gt  0       it s past day else      it s current or future   Please feel free to comment if there s anything to improve on   Thanks

To check if it is today   If we compare two dates which contain also the time information isSame will obviously fail  diff will fail in case that the two dates span over the new day    var date1   moment  01 01 2016 23 59 00    DD MM YYYY HH mm ss    var date2   moment  02 01 2016 00 01 00    DD MM YYYY HH mm ss    var diff   date2 diff date1      2seconds   I think the best way  even if it is not quick and short  is the following   var isSame   date1 date      date2 date    amp  amp  date1 month      date2 month    amp  amp  date1 year      date2 year     To check if it is in the future   As suggested also by other users  the diff method works    var isFuture   now diff anotherDate   lt  0
