isSameDay

Checks if two dates are the same day.

Accepts any DateLike input (Date, timestamp, or date string).

Available since v2.0.0

import { isSameDay } from '@helpers4/date';
isSameDay(date1: DateLike, date2: DateLike): boolean
ParameterTypeDescription
date1DateLikeFirst date
date2DateLikeSecond date

boolean — True if same day, false otherwise (including when either date is invalid)

Returns true when both dates are on the same calendar day.

isSameDay(new Date('2025-01-19T08:00:00'), new Date('2025-01-19T22:00:00'))
// => true

A value that can be converted to a Date.

  • Date — used as-is (validated for Invalid Date)
  • number — treated as a timestamp (seconds or milliseconds, auto-detected); 0 is treated as invalid and produces null in ensureDate
  • string — parsed via new Date(string)
  • EpochMilliseconds — any object with a epochMilliseconds property (e.g. Temporal.Instant, Temporal.ZonedDateTime)

// TODO: When the Temporal API reaches Stage 4 and is available without // flags in all major runtimes, consider narrowing the union to the // concrete Temporal types for stricter type-checking.

type DateLike = Date | number | string | EpochMilliseconds

An object that exposes an epoch timestamp in milliseconds.

This structural type is satisfied by Temporal.Instant and Temporal.ZonedDateTime (and any future object that carries the same property), so callers can pass Temporal values without importing them.

interface EpochMilliseconds {
  epochMilliseconds: number;
}
