How to check if input date is equal to today's date?

Question

I have a form input with an id of \'date_trans\'. The format for that date input (which is validated server side) can be any of:

• dd/mm/yyyy
• dd-mm-yyyy

Answer 1

The Best way and recommended way of comparing date in typescript is:

var today = new Date().getTime();
var reqDateVar = new Date(somedate).getTime();

if(today === reqDateVar){
 // NOW
} else {
 // Some other time
}
