rated 0 times [ 86] [ 2] / answers: 1 / hits: 63648 / 7 Years ago, thu, september 28, 2017, 12:00:00

I have a date saved in a string with this format: 2017-09-28T22:59:02.448804522Z this value is provided by a backend service.

Now, in javascript how can I compare if that timestamp is greater than the current timestamp? I mean, I need to know if that time happened or not yet taking in count the hours and minutes, not only the date.

You can parse it to create an instance of Date and use the built-in comparators:

new Date('2017-09-28T22:59:02.448804522Z') > new Date()

// true

new Date('2017-09-28T22:59:02.448804522Z') < new Date()

// false

Conveniently, the date is already in an standard format that Date knows how to parse (looks like ISO8601).
