How to check if date is within 30 days? [duplicate]

Answer 1

(todayDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime())/(1000*60*60*24.0)

Answer 2

In JavaScript, the best way to get the timespan between two dates is to get their "time" value (number of milliseconds since the epoch) and convert that into the desired units. Here is a function to get the number of days between two dates:

var numDaysBetween = function(d1, d2) {
  var diff = Math.abs(d1.getTime() - d2.getTime());
  return diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
};

var d1 = new Date(2011, 0, 1); // Jan 1, 2011
var d2 = new Date(2011, 0, 2); // Jan 2, 2011
numDaysBetween(d1, d2); // => 1
var d3 = new Date(2010, 0, 1); // Jan 1, 2010
numDaysBetween(d1, d3); // => 365
