Then, you can use the isToday() function to check if a given date is today's date:

index.tsx
const today = new Date(); // get today's date
const targetDate = new Date('2021-11-10'); // sample date to check

if (isToday(targetDate)) {
  console.log('The target date is today'); // This will not be printed since the target date is not today
} else {
  console.log('The target date is not today'); // This will be printed since the target date is not today
}

In the code above, we imported the isToday() function from the date-fns library and then used it to check if the targetDate is today's date. Since the targetDate is not today's date, the message "The target date is not today" will be printed to the console.
