How to filter blog post by publishedDate only for current month

Hi,
i have a member page and i want to show total views of current month. for that i try to filter but no option for published date.

i tried coding for that:
let date=item.publishedDate;

now date showing proper date but cannot filter as contains()/includes() method is not working.

what is the way out?

Read the info on the Blog collection for that field which tells you which filters can be used on it.
