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

To use the setMinutes function from date-fns in JavaScript, first install the date-fns package via npm by running npm install date-fns in your terminal.

Then, import the setMinutes function in your JavaScript file by adding the following line at the top:

import { setMinutes } from 'date-fns';

Next, you can use the setMinutes function to set the minutes of a Date object to a specific value. The function takes two arguments: the Date object you want to set the minutes for, and the new value for the minutes.

Here's an example:

const myDate = new Date();
const minutesToAdd = 30;

const newDate = setMinutes(myDate, myDate.getMinutes() + minutesToAdd);

console.log(newDate); // Output: (current date and time) + 30 minutes

In this example, we create a new Date object called myDate representing the current date and time. We then define minutesToAdd as 30.

The setMinutes function takes myDate as its first argument and adds minutesToAdd (30) to its getMinutes() value (the current number of minutes).

The resulting Date object with the minutes added is assigned to a new variable called newDate, which is logged to the console as output.

Note that setMinutes does not modify the original Date object; it returns a new Date object with the minutes set to the specified value.
