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.

import moment from "moment";

// create a function and console moment
function consoleTheMoment() {
  console.log(moment());
}

function App() {
  consoleTheMoment()
  return (
    <div>
        {/* moment in react render */}
      {moment().toString()}
    </div>
  );
}

export 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. ***
