How can I determine if a date is between two dates in Groovy?

How can I check if a date is between two other dates in Groovy? Is there any function like BETWEEN in MySQL?

The main logic is to convert your date into the format of YYYYMMDD, then you can check if date1 <=date3 <=date2, then you can know if date 3 is between date2 and date1

Below is the code for groovy which can run in soapui. e.g. today is 20171225 an after 5 days its 20171230 . So now 20171227

def date1 = new Date().format("YYYYMMdd")
def date2 = (new Date()+5).format("YYYYMMdd")
def date3 = (new Date()+3).format("YYYYMMdd")

log.info "date1 is " + date1 + " date2 is " + date2 + " date3 is " + date3


if(date2<=date1 && date3>=date1)
{
log.info "date3 is between date1 and date2"
}
else
{
log.info "Date3 is not between date1 and date2" 
}

There isn't any magic function but you can easily write a function to do that

Date date1 = new Date()
Date date2 = new Date().plus(2)

Date toCheck1 = new Date().plus(3)
Date toCheck2 = new Date().plus(1)


def dateBetween(Date date1, Date date2, Date toCheck){
    return toCheck.after(date1) && toCheck.before(date2)
}

dateBetween(date1, date2, toCheck1) // returns false
dateBetween(date1, date2, toCheck2) // returns true
