check date range

[dense dove]

What are your current thoughts on how you might solve this? What have you already tried? Should we assume this is in JavaScript? Have you looked at the JavaScript language reference for the Date() object? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date

this is in js

import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import useGlobalContext from "../Context/context";

export default function CheckDate() {
  const { horoscopeData, setIsFalls } = useGlobalContext();
  const [date, setDate] = useState(new Date(horoscopeData.current_date));
  const dateRange = "Jan 20 - Feb 18";
  const [startStr, endStr] = dateRange.split(" - ");
  const startMonth = new Date(startStr).getMonth();
  const endMonth = new Date(endStr).getMonth();
  const startDate = new Date(startStr).getDate();
  const endDate = new Date(endStr).getDate();

  const currentMonth = date.getMonth();
  const currentDate = date.getDate();

  const isWithinRange =
    (currentMonth > startMonth ||
      (currentMonth === startMonth && currentDate >= startDate)) &&
    (currentMonth < endMonth ||
      (currentMonth === endMonth && currentDate <= endDate));

      console.log(isWithinRange)
  useEffect(() => {
    if (isWithinRange) {
      setIsFalls(true);
    }else {
      setIsFalls(false)
    }
  }, [isWithinRange]);
}
