How to filter an array using a time range value
Posted on June 5, 2022
Here my solution to sort an Array based on a range date value, start and end date/time.
Basically, we rely on the getTime() Date function that gives us the simple absolute number we can use for our filtering operation:
const data = [
{date: '2020-01-02'},
{date: '2020-01-03'},
{date: '2020-01-05'}
]
const start = new Date('2020-01-02').getTime()
const end = new Date('2020-01-04').getTime()
const filtered = data.filter(d => {
const t = new Date(d.date).getTime()
return t >= start && t <= end
})
// filtered:
// [{date: '2020-01-02'},{date: '2020-01-03'}]
