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

date-fns is a JavaScript library that provides various utility functions for working with date and time. One of the functions it provides is millisecondsToSeconds(), which can be used to convert milliseconds to seconds.

To use this function in your JavaScript code, you will need to first install the date-fns package. You can do this using npm (Node Package Manager) by running the following command in your terminal:

npm install date-fns

Once you have installed the date-fns package, you can import the millisecondsToSeconds() function into your JavaScript code using the require() or import statement, depending on your environment. Here's an example of how to use this function:

// Import millisecondsToSeconds() function from date-fns
const { millisecondsToSeconds } = require('date-fns');

// Example usage
const milliseconds = 5000;
const seconds = millisecondsToSeconds(milliseconds);

console.log(`${milliseconds} milliseconds is equal to ${seconds} seconds.`);
// Output: "5000 milliseconds is equal to 5 seconds."

In the example above, we first import the millisecondsToSeconds() function using the require() statement. We then define a variable milliseconds with a value of 5000. We call the millisecondsToSeconds() function, passing in this value as an argument, and save the returned value to a variable seconds. Finally, we log a message to the console that displays the original value in milliseconds and the converted value in seconds.

Note that the millisecondsToSeconds() function returns the converted value as a float, so you may need to round it or convert it to an integer depending on your requirements.
