How to compare times don't using without if else

Question

I have for example that time "15:00:00" and "15:30:00"

firstly i do split and cast to Integer

const hour = Number(this.time.split(':')[0]);
const minutes = Number(this.time.split(':')[1]);

and later i using for example if(hour > hour1) { .... }

I know that this method is not optimal is some tips to compare time?

how are you comparing time of two different date, like, let say, one is `23:00:00 ` and the other one is `01:00:00` of the next day — McRist, Aug 20 '18 at 16:39
you can convert the time string to a common format (like seconds) and then compare them — Sid Vishnoi, Aug 20 '18 at 16:40

If you can use libs, I'd recommend moment.js. It makes it easy to work with datetimes.

For example:

var first = moment('15:00:00', 'hh:mm:ss');
var second = moment('15:30:00', 'hh:mm:ss');
console.log(first.isAfter(second));
