Javascript compare two dates to get a difference

Question

I am trying to compare two different dates to see if the date inputted is after 7 days of todays date. I have done a bit of googling and come up with this:

f         


        

Answer 1

Try like this

var date = new Date(input).getTime(); // Get the milliseconds
var today = new Date();    

//You can't compare date, 
//so convert them to milliseconds
today = new Date(today.setDate(today.getDate() + 7)).getTime(); 
if (inputDate < today) {
    // The selected time is less than 7 days from now
    return false;
 } else if{ ()
    // -Exact- same timestamps.
    return false;
 }
 else {
    // The selected time is more than 7 days from now
    return true;
 }
