const { formatTime } = require("@goktugcy/timezone-helper");

const formattedTime = formatTime(

const currentDate = new Date();
const formattedDate = formatDate(currentDate, "YYYY-MM-DD");
console.log("Formatted Date:", formattedDate);

• Duration Calculation

const { calculateDuration } = require("@goktugcy/timezone-helper");

// Calculate the duration between two dates
const startDate = "2024-01-01T00:00:00Z"; // Example start date
const endDate = "2024-01-02T12:30:00Z"; // Example end date

// Use the calculateDuration function to calculate the duration
const duration = calculateDuration(startDate, endDate);

// Print the calculated duration
console.log(
  `Duration: ${duration.days} days, ${duration.hours} hours, ${duration.minutes} minutes, ${duration.seconds} seconds.`
);
