If I have a list of arrays as follows, what would be the quickest way to check if today i.e. 2022-03-08T23:30:00.000Z is within 5 days of any of the future dates and return true along with the nearest future date (within a 5 day window)?
For example, in this example, it would return 2022-03-13T13:00:00.000Z as the nearest future date and return as true because it falls under this date.
export const nextRotaSchedules = [
