After installing the library, you can use the getUnixTime function to convert a Date object to a Unix timestamp. Here's how to use it:

index.tsx
// import the function
import { getUnixTime } from 'date-fns'

// create a Date object
const currentDate = new Date()

// get the Unix timestamp
const unixTimestamp = getUnixTime(currentDate)

console.log(unixTimestamp) // prints the Unix timestamp

In the code above, we first import the getUnixTime function from the date-fns library. We then create a new Date object representing the current date and time. Finally, we pass the Date object to the getUnixTime function to get the corresponding Unix timestamp.
