Using the UTC* methods ensures that two equivalent days in different timezones matching the same global day are the same. (Not necessary if you're parsing both dates directly, but a good thing to think about.)
A simple date comparison in pure JS should be sufficient:
// Create date from input value
var inputDate = new Date("11/21/2011");
// Get today's date
var todaysDate = new Date();
// call setHours to take the time out of the comparison
if(inputDate.setHours(0,0,0,0) == todaysDate.setHours(0,0,0,0)) {
// Date equals today's date
}
// method to check date is less than today date
isLessDate(schedule_date : any){
var _schedule_date = new Date(schedule_date);
var date = new Date();
var transformDate = this.datePipe.transform(date, 'yyyy-MM-dd');
var _today_date = new Date(''+transformDate);
if(_schedule_date < _today_date){
return 'small'
}
else if(_schedule_date > _today_date){
return 'big'
}
else {
return 'same'
}
