Min Max of dates in an array

Question

How can I find out the min and the max date from an array of dates  Currently  I am creating an array like this   var dates       dates push new Date  2011 06 25    dates push new Date  2011 06 26    dates push new Date  2011 06 27    dates push new Date  2011 06 28      Is there a built-in function to do this or am I to write my own

This is a particularly great way to do this (you can get max of an array of objects using one of the object properties): Math.max.apply(Math,array.map(function(o){return o.y;}))

min and   max work on arrays of dates  use those if you re using Lodash or Underscore  and consider using Lodash  which provides many utility functions like these  if you re not already   For example     min       new Date  2015-05-08T00 07 19Z        new Date  2015-04-08T00 07 19Z        new Date  2015-06-08T00 07 19Z        will return the second date in the array  because it is the earliest

Since dates are converted to UNIX epoch  numbers   you can use Math max min to find those   var maxDate   Math max apply null  dates     convert back to date object maxDate   new Date maxDate     tested in chrome only  but should work in most browsers
