const { roundToNearestMinutes } = require('date-fns');

const currentTime = new Date();
const roundedTime = roundToNearestMinutes(currentTime, { nearestTo: 15 });

console.log(`Rounded Time: ${roundedTime}`);

In this example, we import the roundToNearestMinutes function from the date-fns library and use it to round a given Date object to the nearest 15 minutes. The roundToNearestMinutes function takes two arguments - the date object to be rounded, and an options object that specifies the nearestTo value in minutes (which defaults to 1 if not provided).
