How do I check a date is actually today (the same date) rather than the difference between hours in a day?
I have three timestamps as examples, one is today (22/07/14) and the other two are yesterday (21/07/14)
1406019110000 // today
1405951867000 // yesterday
1405951851000 // yesterday
I have tried this but all return false:
timestamp = moment.tz(timestamp, tz.name());
var today = moment('DD/MM/YYYY').isAfter(timestamp, 'DD/MM/YYYY');
console.log(today);
You can use isSame()
, limiting the granularity to a day:
var today = moment(1406019110000);
var yesterday = moment(1405951867000);
if (today.isSame(yesterday, 'd')) {
// They are on the same day
} else {
// They are not on the same day
}
You can use the startOf
and isSame
methods together to achieve your goal here.
Running startOf('day')
on a moment object will set that moment to - you guessed it - the start of the day it occurs on. If you convert each of your timestamps using this method you can easily compare them to one another using isSame()
.
For example:
var today = moment(1406019110000);
var yesterday = moment(1405951867000);
if (today.startOf('day').isSame(yesterday.startOf('day'))) {
// They are on the same day
} else {
// They are not on the same day
}
You can try this
moment().isSame(moment(timestamp), 'day')
You can try this,
var today = 1406019110000; // today
var yesterday = 1405951867000; // yesterday
checkToday(today);
checkToday(yesterday);
function checkToday(timestamp)
{
if (moment(timestamp).format('DD/MM/YYYY') == moment(new Date()).format('DD/MM/YYYY'))
alert('true');
else
alert("false");
}
