How to compare datetime with 10 minutes?

I would like to check if the datetime now - datetime given = 10 minutes

Below is my code: var duration = Date.now() - customerForgotPassword[0].createdTime.getTime();

and then I compare it with 10 minutes in millisecs:

    var TEN_MINUTES = 10*60*1000;

    if(duration > TEN_MINUTES){
            //do smtg
    }

But this thing always returns true because I checked TEN_MINUTES in UTC, it is equals to Thu Jan 01 1970 00:10:00.

I would like to know how can I check if the duration is more than 10 minutes ?

var TEN_MINUTES = 10*60*1000;
var duration = Date.now() - customerForgotPassword[0].createdTime.getTime();
if (duration > TEN_MINUTES) {
  // do stuff
}

Not sure where you went wrong since it sounds like you got 90% of the way there on your own, but there you go.

How about Math.abs(d2.getTime() - d1.getTime())/1000 ?
