find the last accessed date of a directory in javascript

To find the last accessed date of a directory in JavaScript, you can use Node.js's fs.stat() function to get the stats object for the directory, which includes information such as the modification time (mtime) and the access time (atime) of the directory.

Here's an example code snippet:

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

const directoryPath = '/path/to/directory';

fs.stat(directoryPath, (err, stats) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`Last accessed date: ${stats.atime}`);
});

13 lines

In this code, directoryPath is the path to the directory you want to check. The fs.stat() function takes in the path to the file or directory and a callback function that will be called with an err argument if there was a problem with the operation, and a stats object argument containing information about the file or directory.

The stats object contains the atime property, which is the last accessed date for the directory. You can log this value or use it in your code as needed.
