Moment.js: Date between dates

I'm trying to detect with Moment.js if a given date is between two dates. Since version 2.0.0, Tim added isBefore() and isAfter() for date comparison.

Since there's no isBetween() method, I thought this would work:

var date = moment("15/02/2013", "DD/MM/YYYY");
var startDate = moment("12/01/2013", "DD/MM/YYYY");
var endDate = moment("15/01/2013", "DD/MM/YYYY");


if (date.isBefore(endDate)
&& date.isAfter(startDate)
|| (date.isSame(startDate) || date.isSame(endDate))
) {
alert("Yay!");
} else {
alert("Nay! :(");
}

I'm convinced there's got to be a better way to do this. Any ideas?

Solution

  • You can use one of the moment plugin -> moment-range to deal with date range:

    var startDate = new Date(2013, 1, 12)
  , endDate   = new Date(2013, 1, 15)
  , date  = new Date(2013, 2, 15)
  , range = moment().range(startDate, endDate);

range.contains(date); // false
