I have a date variable, stored as a String in the 'YYYY-mm-dd' format. What is the best way to check, if that date has not already passed?

In Java, two dates can be compared using the compareTo() method of Comparable interface. This method returns '0' if both the dates are equal, it returns a value "greater than 0" if date1 is after date2 and it returns a value "less than 0" if date1 is before date2.
For comparing the two dates, we have used the compareTo() method. If both dates are equal it prints Both dates are equal. If date1 is greater than date2, it prints Date 1 comes after Date 2.
To compare two dates, you can use either toString() or valueOf() . The toString() method converts the date into an ISO date string, and the valueOf() method converts the date into milliseconds since the epoch.
Date.parse('2010-11-01') < Date.today will return true if '2010-11-01' has already passed
