  2. Next, import the setHours function in your JavaScript code.

  3. setHours is a function that takes two arguments - a Date object, and an integer representing the desired hour value.

    index.tsx
    const myDate = new Date(); // create a new Date object
    const updatedDate = setHours(myDate, 5); // set the hour to 5
    
    117 chars
    3 lines

    Note that the setHours function returns a new Date object, instead of modifying the original one.

  4. You can also use the third parameter of setHours to set the minutes, seconds, and milliseconds values along with the hour value.

    index.tsx
    const myDate = new Date();
    const updatedDate = setHours(myDate, 5, 30, 0, 0); // set the time to 5:30am
    
    104 chars
    3 lines

    In this example, the second argument represents the desired hour value (5), the third argument represents the desired minutes value (30), and the fourth and fifth arguments represent the desired seconds and milliseconds values (both set to 0).

That's how you can use the setHours function from date-fns in JavaScript to set the hour value of a Date object.
