check whether the date entered by the user is current date or the future date

Question

I was browsing through the net to find a javascript function which can check whether the date entered by the user is current date or the future date but i didn\'t found a s

Answer 1

here's a version that only compares the date and excludes the time.

Typescript

const inFuture = (date: Date) => {
    return date.setHours(0,0,0,0) > new Date().setHours(0,0,0,0)
};

ES6

const inFuture = (date) => {
    return date.setHours(0,0,0,0) > new Date().setHours(0,0,0,0)
};

Answer 2

try this

function IsFutureDate(dateVal) {
    var Currentdate = new Date();
        dateVal= dateVal.split("/");
    var year = Currentdate.getFullYear();
    if (year < dateVal[2]) {
        return false;//future date

    }        
    else {
        return true; //past date
    }

}

Answer 3

try out this

function isFutureDate(idate){
var today = new Date().getTime(),
    idate = idate.split("/");

idate = new Date(idate[2], idate[1] - 1, idate[0]).getTime();
return (today - idate) < 0 ? true : false;
}

Demo

console.log(isFutureDate("02/03/2016")); // true
console.log(isFutureDate("01/01/2016")); // false

Answer 4

ES6 version with tolerable future option.

I made this little function that allows for some wiggle room (incase data coming in is from a slightly fast clock for example).

It takes a Date object and toleranceMillis which is the number of seconds into the future that is acceptable (defaults to 0).

const isDistantFuture = (date, toleranceMillis = 0) => {
    // number of milliseconds tolerance (i.e. 60000 == one minute)
    return date.getTime() > Date.now() + toleranceMillis
}

Answer 5

You can compare two dates as if they were Integers:

var now = new Date();
if (before < now) {
  // selected date is in the past
}

Just both of them must be Date.

First search in google leads to this: Check if date is in the past Javascript

However, if you love programming, here's a tip:

1. A date formatted like YYYY-MM-DD could be something like 28-12-2013.
2. And if we reverse the date, it is 2013-12-28.
3. We remove the colons, and we get 20131228.
4. We set an other date: 2013-11-27 which finally is 20131127.
5. We can perform a simple operation: 20131228 - 20131127

Enjoy.
