node RRule check if rule day is today

Question

I am using 'rrule.js' library in node to parse my RRule. I would like to know if current day is same as rule day. It works on most cases but not all. I also use moment.js to compare. The issue is in "rule.after()". It should include the current day but it doesn't.

function checkIfToday(rruleStr){
var RRule = require('rrule').RRule;
var moment = require('moment');

var rule = RRule.fromString(rruleStr);

// Convert all dates into UTC before comparison
var todayutc          = moment().utc(); // today in UTC
var nextOccurrence    = rule.after(todayutc,inc=true); // next rule date including today
var nextOccurutc      = moment(nextOccurrence).utc(); // convert today into utc
var match             = moment(nextOccurutc).isSame(todayutc, 'day'); // check if 'DAY' is same

return match;
}

Any idea what's the best way to do this.

Thanks.

This worked for me. Try setting the time of todayutc back to the beginning of the day using moment's startOf method:

function checkIfToday(rruleStr){
  var RRule = require('rrule').RRule;
  var moment = require('moment');

  var rule = RRule.fromString(rruleStr);

  // Convert all dates into UTC before comparison
  var todayutc          = moment().utc().startOf('day'); // today in UTC
  var nextOccurrence    = rule.after(todayutc, true); // next rule date including today
  var nextOccurutc      = moment(nextOccurrence).utc(); // convert today into utc
  var match             = moment(nextOccurutc).isSame(todayutc, 'day'); // check if 'DAY' is same

  return match;
}

node RRule check if rule day is today
