After installing, you can import the formatDistanceStrict function and use it in your code like this:

index.ts
import { formatDistanceStrict } from 'date-fns';

const dateA = new Date('2021-03-18T12:00:00Z');
const dateB = new Date();

const distance = formatDistanceStrict(dateA, dateB);

console.log(`The distance between the two dates is ${distance}.`);

In this example, we import the formatDistanceStrict function from date-fns. We then create two Date objects representing the two dates we want to calculate the distance between, and pass them to the formatDistanceStrict function. The function returns a string representing the distance between the two dates in a human-readable format, such as "1 year", "10 months", "2 days", etc.

The formatDistanceStrict function takes several optional arguments, such as unit and locale, that you can use to customize its behavior. For more information about these arguments, refer to the date-fns documentation.
