Query by date with column that is a datetime

Question

How can I query for all records of a certain date if the column is a datetime?

This doesn't work. Is there a preferred way to do this in sequelize?

startDate and endDate are datetime 's

Thing.findAll({
  where: {
    startDate = {
      [Op.gte]: '02-20-2020'
    },
    endDate = {
      [Op.lte]: '02-20-2020'
    },
  }
});

Answer 1

Split them and create a javascript Date object before using that straight in the query parameters.

const [month, day, year] = '02-20-2020'.split('-')
const date = new Date(year, month, day)

Thing.findAll({
  where: {
    startDate = {
      [Op.gte]: date
    }
  }
});
