getDuration()
Returns a number representing the amount of time between two dates. Since Unix timestamps are in seconds, this function technically returns a Unix timestamp when the measure is set to seconds.
Usage
import { getDuration } from 'easy-dates';
getDuration(firstDate, secondDate, measure)
Prop types
| prop | type | required | default |
