Question

Is there a way to check if a date is less than 1 hour ago?

Something like this:

Answer 1

You can do it as follows:

1. First find difference of two dates i-e in milliseconds
2. Convert milliseconds into minutes
3. If minutes are less than 60, then it means date is within hour else not within hour.

var date = new Date("2020-07-12 11:30:10");
var now = new Date();
var diffInMS = now - date;
var msInHour = Math.floor(diffInMS/1000/60);
if (msInHour < 60) {
    console.log('Within hour');
} else {
    console.log('Not within the hour');
}
