request - How to compare two dates with Mongodb (find query using NestJS)

Question

I'm trying to get the list of posts for which the publish date is equal or less than the current date.

I'm using NestJS, Mongo & typeORM; which syntax should I use?

const posts =
  await this.mbRepository.find(
    { where: { "deletedAt": null , "publishDate" <= currentDate } }
  );

Answer 1

    let firstPoint = new Date();
    firstPoint.setHours(0);
    firstPoint.setMinutes(0);
    firstPoint.setSeconds(0);
    let lastPoint = new Date();
    lastPoint.setHours(23);
    lastPoint.setMinutes(59);
    lastPoint.setSeconds(59);

    const posts = await this.mbRepository.find({ publishDate: { $gte: firstPoint, $lt: lastPoint } } });

Get current day and make two point. One as begining of the day and another as end of the day. Then you can use mongodb operator $gte and $lt. In this way you will get all post which have been publish in this time range.
