how to use the getdayofyear function from the date-fns library in typescript

To use the getDayOfYear function from the date-fns library in TypeScript, follow these steps:

  1. Install the date-fns library as a dependency in your project:

npm install date-fns

  1. Import the getDayOfYear function from date-fns at the top of your TypeScript file:

41 chars
2 lines
  1. Declare a Date object and pass it as an argument to the getDayOfYear function. This function returns the day of the year for that particular date:
index.ts
const myDate = new Date('2022-01-01');
const dayOfYear = getDayOfYear(myDate);
console.log(dayOfYear); // Output: 1 (since January 1 is the first day of the year)

4 lines

You can also pass a string representing a date to the getDayOfYear function, as long as you use a parseable format:

index.ts
const dayOfYear = getDayOfYear('2022-12-31');
console.log(dayOfYear); // Output: 365 (since December 31 is the 365th day of a non-leap year)
141 chars
3 lines

Note that getDayOfYear returns an integer between 1 and 366 (inclusive), depending on whether the year is a leap year or not.
