@RishabhAhuja I guess you should read answer more carefully new Date(); will give you current date The link by Mohamed Abbas is sufficient to close your answer — Vinod Louis, Mar 20 '17 at 06:14

One of the solution i would suggest is moment.js library.

It provides Query functions like isBefore(), isSame() and isAfter().

var today = moment('2010-10-20'),
     specifiedDate = moment('2010-10-21');
if(today.isBefore(specifiedDate)){
  console.log("Past Date");
}else{
  console.log("Future Date");
};

var specific_date = new Date('2017-03-26');
var current_date = new Date();
if(current_date.getTime() > specific_date.getTime())
{
    console.log('current_date date is grater than specific_date')
}
else
{
    console.log('current_date date is lower than specific_date')
}

It's not precise. What happens if they are equals? You have to write "Current_date date is lower than or equal to the specific date". Or you can add else if (current_date.getTime() == specific_date.getTime()) – Avi Jul 22 '21 at 09:38

Use Moment.js to handle dates,

ex:

moment().isAfter('2014-03-26T01:14:00Z') // true
moment().isAfter('2017-03-26T01:14:00Z') // false
