find the creation date of a file in javascript

You can use the fs (file system) module in Node.js to get the creation date of a file. Here's an example:

index.tsx
const fs = require("fs");

fs.stat("path/to/file", function(err, stats) {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }

  console.log("Created on:", stats.birthtime);
});
179 chars
11 lines

This code uses the fs.stat() method to get information about the file. The stats.birthtime property contains the creation time of the file. You can format the date to your liking using the Date object or a library like Moment.js.
