How to Compare Two Date Strings in JavaScript: A Step-by-Step Guide

Comparing date strings in JavaScript, especially when they are formatted as dd/mm/yyyy, can seem a bit tricky at first. Many developers encounter problems when trying to compare dates due to the way JavaScript handles date types. In this post, we’ll break down an effective solution to this problem step-by-step.

The Problem: Difficulty in Date Comparison

Imagine you have a JavaScript application where you're trying to compare two dates. One date comes from a fixed variable, representing today's date, and the other comes from a user-input or data fetching process. In its raw form, comparing these two kinds of date strings won't work as intended, leading to potential errors in your logic. This can happen for many reasons, including:

Different data types being compared (e.g., string vs. Date object).

The format of the dates not aligning with how JavaScript expects them to be formatted.

Here is a snippet of what the current code might look like:

The Solution: Converting Strings to Date Objects

To effectively compare the two dates, you need to convert the string representations of the dates into JavaScript Date objects. This allows for reliable comparison. Follow these steps to get it done correctly.

Step 1: Create a Function to Convert Strings to Date Objects

The first thing you need is a function that can take the string format dd/mm/yyyy and return a Date object. Here's how you can do this:
