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

To use the ismatch function from the date-fns library in TypeScript, you first need to install the library by running the following command:

npm install date-fns

Once the date-fns library is installed, you can import the ismatch function with the following code:

import { isMatch } from 'date-fns';

The ismatch function is used to check whether a given date matches a specified string pattern. The function takes two arguments: the date you want to match and the string pattern you want to use.

Here's an example TypeScript code snippet that demonstrates how to use the ismatch function:

import { isMatch, parse } from 'date-fns';

const myDate = '2021-10-31T00:00:00';
const pattern = 'yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss';
const dateToMatch = parse(myDate, pattern, new Date());

if (isMatch(dateToMatch, pattern)) {
  console.log('Date matches pattern!');
} else {
  console.log('Date does not match pattern.');
}

In this example, we first define a string myDate that represents a particular date and time. We then define a pattern string that specifies the format of the date string. In this case, the pattern corresponds to yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.

We use the parse function from date-fns to convert our string myDate to a Date object, using the pattern to correctly parse the date string. We then call ismatch with the dateToMatch and pattern arguments.

The ismatch function returns true if the given date matches the specified pattern, or false if it does not. In this example, we then use a simple if statement to log whether the given date matches the pattern or not.
