Date comparison giving incorrect result

I am getting DateTime from API response and for some data, I am getting dummy date like below :

0001-01-01T00:00:00

Now, I want to check If I get a dummy date like above then I want to store null in my variable else the exact date.

I have a code like below but getting "NAN" :

console.log("2017-01-01T00:00:00" == "0001-01-01T00:00:00" ? null : moment("2017-01-01T00:00:00", "DD/MM/YYYY").year()); //output Nan

I am not getting whats the issue here. Can someone please help me?

If you try like this, passing the actual format to moment function, it ouputs 2017 in your case.

console.log("2017-01-01T00:00:00" == "0001-01-01T00:00:00" ? null : moment("2017-01-01T00:00:00", "YYYY-MM-DDT h:mm:ss").year()); //outputs 2017

If you want to compare dates irrespective of datetime format you can do like this:

console.log(moment('2017-01-01T00:00:00').format('YYYY-MM-DD')); //date1
console.log(moment('2017-01-01T00:00:00').format('YYYY-MM-DD')); //date2

And you can compare the 2 dates now, by setting what format you want, irrespective to the original format

Included also the isSame version from comments:

moment('2010-10-20').isSame('2010-10-20'); // true

But if you have a particular case you should consider reading the moment.js documentation.
