find the creation date of a csv file in javascript

To find the creation date of a CSV file in JavaScript, you can use the file system module in Node.js. First, you need to require the module:

index.tsx
const fs = require('fs');
26 chars
2 lines

Then, you can use the fs.stat() method to get information about the file, including its creation date:

index.tsx
fs.stat('path/to/your/file.csv', (err, stats) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }
  
  const creationDate = stats.birthtime; // Get the creation date
  console.log(creationDate);
});
205 chars
10 lines

The birthtime property of the stats object returned by the fs.stat() method contains the creation date of the file. You can then use the Date object to format the creation date as needed:

index.tsx
const formattedCreationDate = new Date(creationDate).toLocaleString(); // Format the creation date
console.log(formattedCreationDate);
135 chars
3 lines

This will output the creation date of the CSV file in a readable format.
