Questions & Answers

I'm trying to do an action when the date today (via Node.js) and the date value (via MongoDB) is the same. However, I'm not receiving any output from my for loop indicating that there's no match.

Here's how I get the date today (date output is 2023-01-19T00:00:00.000Z):

const d = new Date(new Date().toLocaleString("en-US", { timeZone: "Asia/Hong_Kong" }));
const day = d.getDate();
const month = d.getMonth() + 1;
const year = "2023"; //this is a dummy variable since year is required for Date().
const date = new Date(year + "-" + month + "-" + day);
console.log(date);

Here's the users document from MongoDB:

name: "Angelo"
birthday: 2023-01-11T00:00:00.000+00:00 //Date data type

name: "Josh"
birthday: 2023-01-19T00:00:00.000+00:00 //Date data type

Here's the for loop that should trigger success when there's a match, but there's no output. This is my problem.

let users = [];
db.collection("users").find({})
.forEach((user) => { users.push(user) })
.then(() => {
   for (i = 0; i < users.length; i++) {
      if(users[i].birthday == date) {
         console.log("Success"); //no output on console
      }
   }
})

Checking users[i].birthday in console shows:

• 2023-01-19T00:00:00.000Z (Shouldn't this be a match of today's date?)
• 2023-01-11T00:00:00.000Z
