How to check if two dates not on the same calendar day

Question

How to check if two dates not on the same day. I came up with this solution but maybe there is a better way to do this:

 var actualDate = new Date();  var isNotToday = dateToCheck.getDay() !== actualDate.getDay() || dateToCheck < actualDate - 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000; 

Answer 1

Another option is using .toDateString() function to parse both dates into strings. The function formats output to: "Wed Jul 28 1993." Then you can compare both date strings.

actualDate.toDateString() === dateToCheck.toDateString() // returns true if actualDate is same day as dateToCheck
