Filtering Data by Date Range in JavaScript

In today’s data-driven world, being able to manipulate and filter data is a crucial skill, especially for developers working with JavaScript. A common scenario you may encounter is needing to filter arrays based on specific date ranges. Whether you're developing a dashboard or analyzing chat data, this guide will help you understand how to efficiently filter your data by date ranges using JavaScript.

Understanding the Problem

Imagine you have an array of objects, each representing records of chats on a website with the following structure:

If you want to retrieve records only between specific dates, you have to filter this data effectively. For example, you may want to get chat records between 2019-04-01 and 2019-04-02. Let’s explore a practical solution to this problem.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Setting Up Your Data

Start by defining your dataset as an array of objects in JavaScript:
