Firebase new Date()?

Question

I\'m new to Firebase and I was wondering how I can store a JavaScript date and use Firebase to compare them on the client side later?

You need to set a Firebase with string or object with value, and than read the same value in the event.

    var someDate = new Date();
    myRootRef.set({Date: someDate.toString()});

    myRootRef.on('value', function(snapshot) {
    var msg = snapshot.val();
     var currDate = new Date();
    if (currDate >=  msg.Date){
     //do something
    }
    });
