How to check if current date is between two dates in javascript

Question

I'm trying to make a Livestream feature in my project, I have an array of programs (videos), every video has startDate and endDate. I should run every video when its time has come.

const programs = [
    { video: "URL", startDate: 1644405993, endDate: 1644406032 },
    { video: "URL", startDate: 1644405993, endDate: 1644406032 },
    { video: "URL", startDate: 1644405993, endDate: 1644406032 },
    { video: "URL", startDate: 1644405993, endDate: 1644406032 }
];

Answer 1

You can check by calling this function.

function compareDates(startDate,endDate){
  let current=new Date();
  return startDate>=current && endDate<=current;
}

Answer 2

try this

export const checkTime = (startDate, endDate) => {// startDate= 1644405993, endDate = 1644406032
const now = new Date()
const bookingStartDate = new Date(startDate) // use this step to convert your date if its stored in a different format
const bookingEndDate = new Date(endDate) // use this step to convert your date if its stored in a different format
return now.getTime() > bookingStartDate.getTime() && now.getTime() < bookingEndDate.getTime()

}
