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

To use the hasOwnProperty function from the date-fns library in Typescript, we need to first install the library using a package manager like npm:

index.ts
npm install date-fns
21 chars
2 lines

After installing, we can import the function as follows:

index.ts
import { hasOwnProperty } from 'date-fns';
43 chars
2 lines

Next, we can use the function in our code while ensuring type safety. Here's an example of using hasOwnProperty to check if an object has a getFullYear property:

index.ts
interface MyDate {
  getFullYear(): number;
  // other properties and methods
}

const myDate: MyDate = { getFullYear: () => 2021, /* other properties */ };

if (hasOwnProperty(myDate, 'getFullYear')) {
  console.log(myDate.getFullYear());
}
242 chars
11 lines

In the above example, we define an interface MyDate that our myDate object implements. We then use hasOwnProperty to check if myDate has a getFullYear property before calling it to log the year.

Note that we can also add type annotations for the parameters of hasOwnProperty to ensure type safety:

index.ts
if (hasOwnProperty<MyDate, keyof MyDate>(myDate, 'getFullYear')) {
  console.log(myDate.getFullYear());
}
106 chars
4 lines

Here, we add type annotations using angle brackets to specify the type of the object and the key to check. This ensures that we can only check for valid keys of MyDate.
