Im trying to filter the directors $inactiveDirectors who were active during the selected fromDate and the toDate. Directors will be active from their effective date (director.effective_date) to their resigned/removed date (director.release_date). And if the user did not pick a toDate it will be assumed to as the current date.

The function:

 function loadDirectors() {


    return {
        fromDate: ""
        , toDate: ""
        , fromDateObj: null
        , toDateObj: null
        , directorsList: @json($inactiveDirectors)
        , get filteredDirectors() {
            if (this.fromDate === "") {
                return this.directorsList;
            }

            this.fromDateObj = new Date(this.fromDate);


            if (this.toDate === "") {
                this.toDateObj = null;
            } else {
                this.toDateObj = new Date(this.toDate);
            }

            return this.directorsList.filter((director) => {
                let effective_date_obj = new Date(director.effective_date);
                let release_date = new Date(director.release_date);

                if (this.fromDateObj.getTime() < effective_date_obj.getTime()) {
                    if (this.toDateObj) {
                        if (this.toDateObj.getTime() > release_date.getTime()) {
                            return director;
                        } else {
                            return director;
                        }
                    }
                }

            });
        }
    }
}

I've been trying to filter using Alpine.js with no luck yet. Appreciate if you could find a way to resolve this.

The UI:

Thank you

I resolved it. For your reference:

function loadDirectors() {
        return {
            fromDate: ""
            , toDate: ""
            , fromDateObj: null
            , toDateObj: null
            , directorsList: @json($inactiveDirectors)
            , get filteredDirectors() {
                if (this.fromDate === "" && this.toDate === "") {

                    return this.directorsList;
                }

                // if toDate not selected
                if (this.toDate === "") {
                    this.toDateObj = null;
                } else {
                    this.toDateObj = new Date(this.toDate);

                        }
                    }

                    if (shouldReturn) {
