how to use the max function from date-fns in javascript

To use the max function from date-fns in JavaScript, you would first need to install the date-fns library via npm or yarn using the following command:

index.tsx
npm install date-fns
21 chars
2 lines

Once installed, you can import the max function and use it to get the maximum date from an array of dates as follows:

index.tsx
import { max } from 'date-fns';

const dates = [
  new Date(2022, 3, 25),
  new Date(2021, 8, 10),
  new Date(2023, 11, 2),
];

const maxDate = max(dates);
console.log(maxDate); // Output: 2023-12-01T23:00:00.000Z
214 chars
11 lines

In the above example, we first create an array of three dates. We then pass this array of dates to the max function from date-fns, which returns the maximum date from the array. Finally, we log the value of the maxDate variable to the console.

Note that the max function from date-fns can also take an optional second parameter that specifies how the dates should be compared. For more information, you can refer to the official date-fns documentation.
