Sequelize Where statement with date

Question

I am using sequelize as my backend ORM. Now i wish to do some where operations on a Date.

More Speceficly i want to get all data where a date is from now and 7 days

Answer 1

This solution is without the moment.js library.

Between 7 days ago and now

const sevenDaysAgo = new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() - 7));
models.instagram.findAll({
  where: {
    my_date: {
      $gt: sevenDaysAgo,
      $lt: new Date(),
    },
  },
});

Between now and 7 from now

const sevenDaysFromNow = new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + 7));
models.instagram.findAll({
  where: {
    my_date: {
      $gt: new Date(),
      $lt: sevenDaysFromNow,
    },
  },
});

Notes:

• $gt stands for "greater than". You could use $gte instead of $gt. $gte stands for "greater than or equal to". Same for $lte of course.
• Technically speaking, you need both $lt and $gt to make sure that the date isn't into the future (per the original question).
• Other answers show the use of [Sequelize.Op.gt] instead of $gt. Use that if on Sequelize v5.
