date.isEqual()

The isEqual method checks whether the current NepaliDate instance shares the exact same Bikram Sambat year, month, and day coordinates as another date object, ignoring any differences in hours, minutes, seconds, or milliseconds.

import { NepaliDate } from "nepali-date-library";

SignatureCopy Anchor Link

isEqual(date: NepaliDate): boolean;

ParametersCopy Anchor Link

Return ValueCopy Anchor Link

• Type: boolean
• Returns true if year, month, and day are identical; otherwise returns false.

Behavior NoteCopy Anchor Link

Unlike isBefore() and isAfter(), which compare millisecond-level timestamps, isEqual() evaluates calendar dates only:

this.year === date.year && this.month === date.month && this.day === date.day

Two instances created at different times of the same day will return true.
