How do I compare two dates in Sharepoint listview with javascript?

Question

I want to compare two dates in a sharepoint list using javascript. 2 years ago I asked a question about comparing two dates in sharepoint. The code I use is this:

var date = new Date(listItem.LTIOV);
var todaysDate = new Date();

if ((date < todaysDate) && (listItem.MijnStatus == "In Action")) {
    if (row != null){
        row.style.backgroundColor = "rgba(153, 204, 255, 0.5)"; //light blue
    }
}

Back then is worked because the date in listitem.LTIOV was only a date and no time. This time my date also has a time part in it. I already tried with date.GetTime() but the results are not correct. Some dates come back with a year in the future like 2022.

Anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

The new Date(listItem.LTIOV) would also get the time, if you don't have time in listitem.LTIOV, it would return as in 00:00:00 for the time.

So, you could compare two dates with time like this:

var date = new Date(date1);
var date = new Date(date2);
if(date1<date2){

}
