JavaScript: Comparing two dates no output

Question

I would like to compare the given date in the below format in JaveScript. I have tried the following,

Thu May 19 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

Thu May 20 2016 00:00:00 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

var ExpiryDate = userAccount.ExpiryDate();
var datetoday = new Date();
var Expired = (DateTime.Compare(ExpiryDate, datetoday) == -1 ) ? true : false; 
//if expiry date is less than today date then var expired should be true

But didn't worked. I could not compare those two dates. It results in un handled exception. Is there any other way to do this date comparison in JaveScript ?

I have referred the following answers in SO but they are in different date format. So that I have raised this question,

Any suggestion would be helpful.

If they are date objects, you can use `d1 < d2` or `d1 > d2` — Evan Trimboli, May 20 '16 at 10:13
You can use `getTime()` method to turn Date objects to timestamps. `ExpiryDate.getTime() == datetoday.getTime()` — eithed, May 20 '16 at 10:45

var date = new Date(); 
//# => Fri May 20 2016 16:09:43 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)


var date2 = new Date();
date2.setDate(date.getDate() - 1); 
//# => Thu May 19 2016 16:09:43 GMT+0530 (India Standard Time)

date > date2 //# => true

use getTime()

var date1 = (new Date("20 May 2016")).getTime();
var date2 = (new Date("19 May 2016")).getTime();

date1>date2

You will find some good method here
