how to convert the date stored in a variable in to a date formate in jquery?

Question

Following is my jquery code, I want to compare the date pick by user with my gstdate.

$('#FromDate').on('blur', function() {
  var fromdate = $('#FromDate').val();
  var gstdate = "1-7-2017";
  var gd = new Date('d-m-Y', gstdate);

  if (fromdate <= gst) {
    //do something..
  } else {
    //do something..
  }
});

You need to convert to the fromDate into date variable as you did with gstDate

$('#FromDate').on('blur', function() {
  var fromdate = new Date("d-m-Y", $('#FromDate').val());
  var gstdate = "1-7-2017";
  var gd = new Date('d-m-Y', gstdate);

  if (fromdate <= gst) {
    //do something..
  } else {
    //do something..
  }
});

Here I want to convert statically assigned date in to a date format. i.e. var gd = "01-07-2017". – Dwarkesh Purohit Jul 24 '17 at 06:31

$('#FromDate').on('blur', function() {
  var gstdate = new Date("1-7-2017"); //date object required
  var fromdate = new Date($(this).val());
    console.log(gstdate);
  if (fromdate.getTime() <= gstdate.getTime()) {// getTime() returns the number of milliseconds
    console.log('hello');
  } else {
  console.log('bye');
  }
});

having an error log : fromdate.getTime() is not a function. – Dwarkesh Purohit Jul 25 '17 at 04:23
Please refer this [https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_date_methods.asp] in this **getTime()** is a function For that **date object** is required and your gst date is not in formatted it should be **mm-dd-yyyy** – KARAN LAGALWAR Jul 25 '17 at 05:57
