Check if two dates are the same day

Need to compare two dates and check if it is the same day? Here is how you can do it.

function datesAreTheSameDay(date1: Date, date2: Date): boolean {
  return date1.toDateString() === date2.toDateString();
}

toDateString() produces something like “Mon Aug 09 2023”, so we can compare the two strings to see if they are the same day.

This doesn’t check if the dates are the same, only that it is the same day, month & year
