# typecheck-date - use `angular.isDate` instead of `typeof` comparisons

You should use the angular.isDate method instead of the default JavaScript implementation (typeof new Date() === "[object Date]").

**Rule based on Angular 1.x**

## Examples

The following patterns are considered problems;

    /*eslint angular/typecheck-date: 2*/

    // invalid
    Object.prototype.toString.call(someDate) === '[object Date]'; // error: You should use the angular.isDate method

The following patterns are **not** considered problems;

    /*eslint angular/typecheck-date: 2*/

    // valid
    angular.isDate(someDate);

## Version

This rule was introduced in eslint-plugin-angular 0.1.0
