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

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

index.ts
npm install date-fns

Once you've installed the package, you can import the isToday function and use it in your TypeScript code like this:

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

const today = new Date();
const someDate = new Date('2021-10-05');

if (isToday(someDate)) {
  console.log('This date is today!');
} else {
  console.log('This date is not today.');
}

In the above example, we first import the isToday function from the date-fns package. We then create two Date objects: today, which represents the current date and time, and someDate, which represents a date from some other time.

We then use the isToday function to check whether someDate is the same as today. If it is, we log a message to the console saying that someDate is today. Otherwise, we log a message saying that someDate is not today.

Note that the isToday function returns a boolean value (true if the given date is today, false otherwise), so we can use it directly in an if statement as demonstrated above.
