Compare dates in Angularjs

Question

I'm using ng-show in a page that I'm creating:

<td ng-show="week.EndDate > controller.currentDate">

where week is an object with a property EndDate and currentDate is set in my controller:

currentDate = new Date();

My ng-show fails whether I set the dates >, <, or =. I printed out my dates and this is what they are:

week.Date = 2014-11-07 controller.currentDate = 2015-07-09T21:54:40.655Z

I'm not sure if the issue is being caused by the difference in format or not. If so how can I correct this, if not, is there another way to compare dates?

currentDate is a Date object, likely week.Date is a string. — RobG

You should either convert your week.EndDate string to a Date object or wrap your comparison in a function that converts it to a date.

ng-show="convertToDate(week.EndDate) > controller.currentDate"

The only thing you need to keep in mind is that if you convert week.EndDate permanently to a Date object you might need to convert it back to your desired format when you want to store it somewhere for example.
