How to check if any date from array is in date range?

Hope you are all well.

I need to check if any date from array

var arrayDates = ["2013-07-26", "2013-07-27"];

is in date range of

var startDate = new Date("2013-07-10");
var endDate = new Date("2013-07-10");

I am really stuck and started to confuse myself. Can anyone help me with that please.

P.S. Dates above are for example, they will be dynamic.

Thank you!

After you have the date objects you can compare them in a pretty straight forward way. See this link at the bottom.

I see your question is tagged jquery, so you could do something like this:

$.each(arrayDates, function(i, val) {
    if (val > endDate || val < startDate)
    {
        //Date is outside of that range
    }
});

Another method - http://jsfiddle.net/Mh5vn/

var ds = ["2013-07-26", "2013-07-27"];

Array.prototype.between = function(arg) {
    var d1 = new Date(this[0]),
        d2 = new Date(this[1]),
        d3 = new Date(arg);

    return (d1.getTime() <= d3.getTime() && d3.getTime() <= d2.getTime());
}

console.log( ds.between('2013-07-26') );
// true

console.log( ds.between('2013-07-28') );
// false

You will need to use real date objects rather than strings.

maybe have a look at using dateJs for parsing dates http://www.datejs.com/

But really you need to iterate through the array of dates and check if they fall between the tick value of your start and end dates.

Try this:

var arrayDates = [];

arrayDates.push(new Date(2013, 7 , 26));
arrayDates.push(new Date(2013, 7 , 27));

var startDate = new Date("2013-07-10");
var endDate = new Date("2013-07-10");

for(i = 0; i < arrayDates.length; i++){
if(arrayDates[i] >= startDate &&   arrayDates[i] <= endDate) {
   alert('Yes');
 }
}

Hopefully you can convert these dates to numbers and compare them, here an example :

var arrayDates = ["2013-07-26", "2013-07-27"];

var unDash = function (string) {

    return string.replace(/-/g, "")

}

var dateInRange = function (date, startDate, endDate) {

    date = unDash(date)
    startDate = unDash(startDate)
    endDate = unDash(endDate)

    return date > startDate && date < endDate

}

// You now filter your array to retrieve your dates
var dates = arrayDates.filter(function (date) {

    return dateInRange(date, '2013-07-10', '2013-07-31')

})
