JavaScript PlainDateTime compare()

❮ Previous PlainDateTime Reference Next ❯

Example

const date1 = Temporal.PlainDateTime.from("2026-05-17T14:30:00");
const date1 = Temporal.PlainDateTime.from("2026-05-17T14:30:00");

let result = Temporal.PlainDateTime.compare(date1, date2);

Try it Yourself »

Description

The Temporal.PlainDate.compare() method returns -1, 0, or 1 indicating if the first date is before, equal to, or later than the second date.

Syntax

Temporal.PlainDateTime.compare(date1, date2)

Parameters

Parameter Description

date1 The first date to compare.

date2 The second date to compare.

Return Value

Type Description

Number -1 if date1 is before date2.
0 if they are equal.
1 if date1 is after date2.

Browser Support

Temporal is a major update to the JavaScript standard (TC39).

It is currently supported in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Opera and is expected to reach full availability across browsers before the summer of 2026.

Chrome 144	Edge 144	Firefox 139	Safari	Opera 128
Jan 2026	Jan 2026	May 2025	🚫	Feb 2026

The Safari implementation can be tested in Safari Technology Preview by enabling the --use-temporal runtime flag.

Polyfill

Until Safari supports Temporal natively, you can use the official polyfill:

<script
src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@js-temporal/polyfill/dist/index.umd.js">
</script>
