How to compare dates in Angularjs?

Compare dates in Angularjs

• I'm using ng-show in a page that I'm creating: <td ng-show="week.EndDate > controller.currentDate"> where week is an object with a property EndDate and currentDate is set in my controller: currentDate = new Date(); My ng-show fails whether I set the dates >, <, or =. I printed out my dates and this is what they are: week.Date = 2014-11-07 controller.currentDate = 2015-07-09T21:54:40.655Z I'm not sure if the issue is being caused by the difference in format or not. If so how can I correct this, if not, is there another way to compare dates?

• Answer:

  You should either convert your week.EndDate string to a Date object or wrap your comparison in a function that converts it to a date. ng-show="convertToDate(week.EndDate) > controller.currentDate" The only thing you need to keep in mind is that if you convert week.EndDate permanently to a Date object you might need to convert it back to your desired format when you want to store it somewhere for example.
