See [Locale]{@link https://date-fns.org/docs/Locale} * @returns {String} the distance in words * @throws {TypeError} 2 arguments required * @throws {RangeError} `date` must not be Invalid Date * @throws {RangeError} `baseDate` must not be Invalid Date * @throws {RangeError} `options.locale` must contain `formatDistance` property * * @example * // What is the distance between 2 July 2014 and 1 January 2015? * const result = formatDistance(new Date(2014, 6, 2), new Date(2015, 0, 1)) * //=> '6 months' * * @example * // What is the distance between 1 January 2015 00:00:15 * // and 1 January 2015 00:00:00, including seconds? * const result = formatDistance( * new Date(2015, 0, 1, 0, 0, 15), * new Date(2015, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0), * { includeSeconds: true } * ) * //=> 'less than 20 seconds' * * @example * // What is the distance from 1 January 2016 * // to 1 January 2015, with a suffix? * const result = formatDistance(new Date(2015, 0, 1), new Date(2016, 0, 1), { * addSuffix: true * }) * //=> 'about 1 year ago' * * @example * // What is the distance between 1 August 2016 and 1 January 2015 in Esperanto? * import { eoLocale } from 'date-fns/locale/eo' * const result = formatDistance(new Date(2016, 7, 1), new Date(2015, 0, 1), { * locale: eoLocale * }) * //=> 'pli ol 1 jaro' */
