let date1 = new Date(Date.UTC(2007, 0, 10, 10, 0, 0));
let date2 = new Date(Date.UTC(2007, 0, 10, 11, 0, 0));
let date3 = new Date(Date.UTC(2007, 0, 20, 10, 0, 0));

});
console.log(fmt1.format(date1));
console.log(fmt1.formatRange(date1, date2));
console.log(fmt1.formatRange(date1, date3));
// > '1/10/07, 10:00 AM'
