Compare date now and user date input.
I'm trying to compare if 2 dates are equal by converting them to string, but whether they are equal or not it is returning the same results. Are there any fixes or alternatives?
This is my code.
var current = new Date();
var month = current.getUTCMonth() + 1;
var day = current.getUTCDate();
var year = current.getUTCFullYear();
var dateToday = year + "-" + month + "-" + day;
//User's select date
var dateSelected=$('#date').val();
var sDateToday = dateToday.toString();
var sDateSelected = dateSelected.toString();

I am getting the complete date in y-m-d format.

It might be an issue of a leading 0 on single digit day/month numbers?
var current = new Date();
var dateSelected=new Date($('#date').val());
var sameDay = dateSelected.getUTCMonth() == current.getUTCMonth()
&& dateSelected.getUTCDate() == current.getUTCDate()
&& dateSelected.getUTCFullYear() == current.getUTCFullYear()

Carbon has a way to get the difference between the dates
now()->gte(Carbon::parse(dateSelected)); // true or false

It's a Javascript question @allex

Thanks for the reps. I was able to solve it with this
function compareDates() {
var date = .getElementById('date').value;
var inpDate = new Date(date);
var currDate = new Date();
if(inpDate.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0) ==
currDate.setHours(0, 0, 0, 0))
{
console.log('Equal');
}
