Example in reactjs

In the following example, we are going to do

1. import the moment package
2. create a function and console moment
3. use moment in react render.

let’s write the code.

Copy 
1import moment from "moment";
2
3// create a function and console moment
4function consoleTheMoment() {
5  console.log(moment());
6}
7
8function App() {
9  consoleTheMoment()
10  return (
11    <div>
12        {/* moment in react render */}
13      {moment().toString()}
14    </div>
15  );
16}
17
18export default App;

Note: If you want to use moment() in react render, you have to use the toString() method also to show details in HTML.

In the above program, we call moment() in a simple function and in react render method to get the current date time using moment.

let’s check the output.
