Moment.js: find posts where someone commented today












1















I'm pretty new with moment.js. I have a notification page and on load I would like to display my posts where someone commented. I only want to see the posts where someone commented today. Can someone tell where I went wrong?



I have the following code:



I want to show all the posts where comments were placed on the local start of the day. Then I want to transform this date to UTC time because the mongoDB comment document got saved in UTC time as well.



// Generate the actual time
const todayForEvent = moment().startOf('day')
.utc().format();

console.log('todayForEvent', todayForEvent);

const posts = await Post.find({
// From this user...
$and: [
// Find normal posts that has comments (recent interactions)
{ _posted_by: userId },
{ comments: { $exists: true, $ne: } },
{ 'comments.created_date': { $gte: todayForEvent } }
]

})
console.log(posts);


this is how I save the date of the comment with Mongoose. What I want to do is save it in UTC time



const CommentSchema = new Schema({

created_date: {
type: Date,
default: moment.utc().format()
}

});

const Comment = mongoose.model('Comment', CommentSchema);

module.exports = Comment;


I did two console.logs and I'll add a screenshot of my database document as well



console.log(todayForEvent) returns 2019-01-02T06:00:00Z



console.log(posts) returns an empty array, so no matches were found



Database screenshot: as you can see below the format is 2019-01-02 12:26:23.000

    It looks like you might need to save your dates in a different format, according to this question: stackoverflow.com/questions/2943222/…
