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

To use the toLocaleString function from date-fns, you can first install the package via npm:

index.tsx
npm install date-fns --save
28 chars
2 lines

Then, you can import the function and use it to format your date object to a localized string:

import { toLocaleString } from "date-fns";
import { enUS } from "date-fns/locale";

const date = new Date();

const formattedDate = toLocaleString(date, {
  locale: enUS,
  format: "P",
});

console.log(formattedDate); // Output will be a localized string in the format "MM/DD/YYYY"
283 chars
12 lines

In the code snippet above, we are using the toLocaleString function from date-fns to format the date object to a localized string. We are passing the enUS locale as an option along with the P format, which will output a string in the format "MM/DD/YYYY". You can change the locale and the format options to suit your requirements.
