isPast

The isPast method checks if the provided date is in the past.

myDate.isPast(); // Returns true if the date is in the past, otherwise false

Examples

const dateExample = momentnp("2023-05-21");

console.log(dateExample.fromNow()); // Outputs time difference in Nepali
console.log(dateExample.format("dmy-")); // Outputs '2023-05-21'
console.log(dateExample.format("fullnp")); // Outputs full Nepali formatted date and time
console.log(dateExample.inBS("YYMMDD")); // Outputs BS date in YYYY-MM-DD format
console.log(dateExample.isPast()); // Outputs true or false based on whether the date is in the past
