   var d0 = new Date(01/01/2001  + 8:30 AM);

   var d1 = new Date(01/01/2001  + 9:00 PM);

   var d2 = new Date(01/01/2001  + 8:30 AM);

  var d3 = new Date(01/01/2001  + 9:00 PM);

 if(d2<d0&&d3<=d0||d2<d1&&d3<=d3)

 {

      console.log(available);

Use timestamp instead of Date object in order to efficiently compare ranges. This as well will be much more efficient for Database to index by timestamp.

If you don't know which of time is earlier in pair of dates for timespans, then you can do min and max checks. But if you do know which time is before and which after, no min, max in condition required.

Condition bellow checks if timespans Overlap which means it will be true even if only last second of first timespan overlaps with first second from second timespan.

You can do other checks for Contain and identify which of them contain which, but thats different condition.

// time of first timespan

var x = new Date('01/01/2001 8:30:00').getTime();

var y = new Date('01/01/2001 9:30:00').getTime();



// time of second timespan

var a = new Date('01/01/2001 8:54:00').getTime();

var b = new Date('01/01/2001 9:00:00').getTime();



if (Math.min(x, y) <= Math.max(a, b) && Math.max(x, y) >= Math.min(a, b)) {

    // between

}
