2 lines

Once the package is installed, you can import the isThisHour function and use it to check if a given date is in the current hour. Here's an example code snippet:

// Importing the isThisHour function from date-fns
const { isThisHour } = require('date-fns');

// Creating a new date object for the current time
const now = new Date();

// Checking if the current time is in the current hour
if (isThisHour(now)) {
  console.log('The current time is in the current hour');
} else {
  console.log('The current time is not in the current hour');
}

In this example, we're using isThisHour to check if the current time now is in the current hour. If it is, we log a message saying so, otherwise we log a message saying it's not.

You can also pass in a second parameter to isThisHour to specify an offset in minutes from the current time. For example, if you want to check if a given date is in the hour that was two hours ago, you can do so like this:

// Creating a new date object for two hours ago
const twoHoursAgo = new Date(Date.now() - 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

// Checking if two hours ago was in the previous hour
if (isThisHour(twoHoursAgo, { startOfHour: true })) {
  console.log('Two hours ago was in the current hour');
} else {
  console.log('Two hours ago was not in the current hour');
}

In this example, we're passing in an object with a startOfHour property set to true as the second parameter to isThisHour to specify that we want to check if twoHoursAgo was in the previous hour, rather than the current one.
