'How to compare only date in moment.js

I am new to moment.js. I have a date object and it has some time associated with it. I just want to check if that date is greater than or equal to today's date, excluding the time when comparing.

 var dateToCompare = 2015-04-06T18:30:00.000Z

I just want to check if dateToCompare is equal or greater than today's date. I have checked isSame of moment.js, but it seems to take string and only the date part. But I do not want to convert my date to string or manipulate it further. Because I am worried that javascript may do something unexpected when converting that date to string(like adding the offset or dst,etc), or may be I am wrong.

Sample isSame() from docs

moment('2010-10-20').isSame('2010-10-20');

Also I am looking for something like isSame() and isAfter() combined as one statement.

I need to compare using moment.js only.Please do not suggest plain javascript date comparison.

javascript momentjs

The docs are pretty clear that you pass in a second parameter to specify granularity.

If you want to limit the granularity to a unit other than milliseconds, pass the units as the second parameter.
moment('2010-10-20').isAfter('2010-01-01', 'year'); // false
moment('2010-10-20').isAfter('2009-12-31', 'year'); // true
As the second parameter determines the precision, and not just a single value to check, using day will check for year, month and day.

For your case you would pass 'day' as the second parameter.

Meanwhile you can use the isSameOrAfter method:

moment('2010-10-20').isSameOrAfter('2010-10-20', 'day');

In my case i did following code for compare 2 dates may it will help you ...

var date1 = "2010-10-20";
var date2 = "2010-10-20";
var time1 = moment(date1).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
var time2 = moment(date2).format('YYYY-MM-DD');
if(time2 > time1){
	console.log('date2 is Greter than date1');
}else if(time2 > time1){
	console.log('date2 is Less than date1');
}else{
	console.log('Both date are same');
}

You could use startOf('day') method to compare just the date

Example :

var dateToCompare = moment("06/04/2015 18:30:00");
var today = moment(new Date());

dateToCompare.startOf('day').isSame(today.startOf('day'));

For checking one date is after another by using isAfter() method.

moment('2020-01-20').isAfter('2020-01-21'); // false
moment('2020-01-20').isAfter('2020-01-19'); // true

For checking one date is before another by using isBefore() method.

moment('2020-01-20').isBefore('2020-01-21'); // true
moment('2020-01-20').isBefore('2020-01-19'); // false

For checking one date is same as another by using isSame() method.

moment('2020-01-20').isSame('2020-01-21'); // false
moment('2020-01-20').isSame('2020-01-20'); // true

Solution 6:^[6]

moment('2022-01-07').isAfter(moment().format('YYYY-MM-DD'), 'day');

checking 2022-01-07 this with current date

if current date is beyond 6th Jan 2022, it returns false!

moment('date').toDate().getTime() > moment()
