Comparing date field with current date Javascript

Posted on by crmprogrammer2013 2,665

Hi,

I am writing a script to check a event date field with current date and if it is less than or equal to day, I am trying to do something with the other fields. 

But my script is not working as expected. I did debug the script to check if I am getting the correct dates and seems to be fine. The condition which checks for less than or equal to seems to be ignored even if the date field has a date that is less than today.

Can somebody please guide me through this?

Here is my script:

 

    if(results!=null){
var dateTimeValue=results.value[0].new_datetime;//On debug, this is the date that I am getting 2018-05-08T13:30:00Z

var today=new Date();//today's date Mon May 14 2018 09:50:50 GMT-0400(Eastern Daylight Time)


if(eventdateTimeValue<=today){
//do something

}
}

Thanks for any help.

    Hi

    1. You can set header to get formatted value if you are using Web API,  "GET" request.

    2. when you get the response then extract date value as "var crmDateValue= new Date(results.value[0]["new_datetime"])".

    3. get current date value as "var today=new Date();"

    4. Now parse and compare both value as shown below.

    if ((Date.parse(crmDateValue) <= Date.parse(today))) {
    //your logic goes here
    }

    Please mark this as answer :)

    Thanks-

    Prashant

    Hi Roxana ,

    Try to implement below  , here I have prepared for  both date and date time comparison . Hope this helps -

            function myFunction() {
            var dateTimeValue = results.value[0].new_datetime; // "Mon May 14 2018 09:50:50 GMT-0400";
            var crmDateValue = new Date(dateTimeValue);
            //var eventdateTimeValue = crmDateValue.getFullYear() + '/' + (crmDateValue.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + crmDateValue.getDate(); // Uncomment  Only For Date Comparison
            var todaydate = new Date();
            // var today = todaydate.getFullYear() + '/' + (todaydate.getMonth() + 1) + '/' + todaydate.getDate(); // Uncomment  Only For Date Comparison
            if (crmDateValue <= todaydate) { //You can compare only date - using this need to replace -  if (eventdateTimeValue <= today)
                alert("event date less than equal today");
            }
            else {
                alert("event date greater than equal today");
            }
        }


    Hope this helps.
