Can't compare Date object

await this.webhooksModel.insertMany([
  {
    ...data,
    nextSchedule: new Date()
  }
])

await this.webhooksModels.find(
  {
    nextSchedule: { $lte: new Date() } // new Date(new Date().toISOString())
  }
)

// returns []

If the data type was (new Date).toISOString() it will return data with the following query

await this.webhooksModel.insertMany([
  {
    ...data,
    nextSchedule: (new Date()).toISOString()
  }
])

await this.webhooksModels.find(
  {
    nextSchedule: { $lte: new Date(new Date().toISOString()) }
  }
)

// returns [...data]

However, this will cause problems in the MongoDB itself. We are unable to sort the data if the data type was string instead of Date

@KirianCaumes thank you this was helpful, but I found your workaround only works down to number of day and not hours, seconds, and so on. So for more accurate finding of start/end timestamps use:

let from = new Date("2020-10-21T14:41:51.578Z");

let dbresult = await this.db.packets.aggregate([
        {
          $addFields: {
            date: {
              $dateToString: {
                format: "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S:%LZ",
                date: "$timestamp",
              },
            },
          },
        },
        {
          $match: {
            id: req.parsedBody.id,
            date: {
              $gte: from,
            },
          },
        },
      ]).catch((err) => {
        console.log(err);
      });

A workaround that I use is:

mycollection.aggregate([
    {
        $addFields: {
            date: {
                $dateToString: {
                    format: "%Y-%m-%d",
                    date: "$date"
                }
            }
        }
    },
    { 
        $match: {
            date: {
                $gte: new Date(`2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z`),
                $lt: new Date(`2021-01-01T00:00:00.000Z`)
            }
        } 
    },
])

So I can keep date in date format in my db 😉
