Comparing two dates in Angular

Question

I want to compare two dates using this code

  let dob=new Date(this.dob);  
  if(birthDate.getDate()==new Date("1990-01-01").getDate())
  {
    console.log('date is equal');
  }
  else 
  {
    console.log('date is not equal');
  }

but it shows date is equal when i have 2022-08-01 this date in birthDate variable. Any solution Thanks

The getDate method of Date returns the day of the date (in both cases you gave as an exampel, this is 01). To compare between dates, you can use the getTime method (returns the number of milliseconds passed since Jan 1st, 1970)

you can use momentjs like this

var bool2 = moment('2019-10-20').isSame('2019-10-20'); //true
console.log(bool2);
