Hi Tubiss,

You shouldn’t compare two objects with “==” / “!=” operator.

If you want to check if this two dates are the same you can use

if (this.today.getTime() === this.eventDate.getTime()) {}

You can also check if its the same day etc.

I use and recommend date-fns for all tasks like this.

var day = new Date();
Tue Jul 16 2019 15:11:12 GMT-0400
if you only want to compare date
you can use day.substr() to get what you want from this string
