How to use Date.parse In Typescript
In this approach, we are using the Date.parse method to convert the input date strings into timestamps. We then compare these timestamps and print whether the first date is equal to, earlier than, or later than the second date.
Syntax:
const res: number = Date.parse(dateString);
Example: The below example uses Date.parse to compare two date strings in TypeScript.
const dStr1: string = '2022-02-27';
const dStr2: string = '2024-02-27';
const t1: number = Date.parse(dStr1);
const t2: number = Date.parse(dStr2);
if (t1 === t2) {
console.log(`${dStr1} is equal to ${dStr2}`);
} else if (t1 < t2) {
console.log(`${dStr1} is earlier than ${dStr2}`);
} else {
console.log(`${dStr2} is earlier than ${dStr1}`);
}
Output:
2022-02-27 is earlier than 2024-02-27
How to Compare Two Date Strings in TypeScript ?
In TypeScript, we can compare two date strings by converting them to comparable formats using Date objects or by parsing them into the timestamps. We will discuss different approaches with the practical implementation of each one of them.
