jquery - What is the best way to determine if a date is today in JavaScript?

Question

I have a date object in JavaScript and I want to figure out if that date is today. What is the fastest way of doing this?

My concern was around comparing date object as one might have a different time than another but any time on today's date should return true.

Answer 1

You could use toDateString:

var d = new Date()
var bool = (d.toDateString() === otherDate.toDateString());
