How do I make a date with new Date() in javascript given information from an array in php?

Time:12-16

I am iterating through an array of elements in php and accessing each element through javascript. I want to compare dates, but in order to do that I have to take out the information I need to do a new Date() object. This is what the information looks like in php:

"0": {
.
.
.
"dateInfo": {
  "date": "2021-11-19 00:00:000000",
  "timezone_type": 3,
  "timezone: "UTC"
  },
.
.
.
},

I am accessing these from an array in javascript by doing:

array["0"]["dateInfo"]

I tried to take the just the year month and date and make that into a new Date() object by doing this:

var parts = array["0"]["dateInfo"]["date"].split('-');
var dateToComp = new Date(parts[0], parts[1], parts[2]);

But when I did a console.log(dateToComp); it said it was an invalid date. My end goal to to compare this date with todays date to get something in the fashion:

var today = new Date()
var parts = array["0"]["dateInfo"]["date"].split('-');
var dateToComp = new Date(parts[0], parts[1], parts[2]);

if(dateToComp < today)
{
   return 0; // in the past
}
else
{
   return 1; // same day or future day
}

I hope what I am trying to say makes sense and any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

new Date(array["0"]["dateInfo"]["date"])

should work

var dateToComp = new Date(parts[0], parts[1], parts[2].split(' ')[0]);
