Jest fake timers

Use to tell Jest to mock out all time & date related APIs.

See useFakeTimers() in the Jest documentation for more

// Begin the fakery
jest.useFakeTimers();

Set the time to something specific by providing a now option:

jest.useFakeTimers({
    now: new Date(2024, 11, 8),
})

Cancel this with useRealTimers():

afterEach(() => {
    // Restore the timers back to normal 🕗
    jest.useRealTimers();
})
