find the last accessed date of a json file in javascript

You can use the fs module in Node.js to access file system related functionalities. Here's how you can find the last accessed date of a JSON file using fs.stat() method:

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

const filePath = 'path/to/your/file.json';

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

  console.log('Last accessed date:', stats.atime);
});

In the above code, we first import the fs module. Then, we provide the path to our JSON file in the filePath variable.

Next, we use the fs.stat() method to get the statistics of the file, which includes information like file size, creation date, last modified date, last accessed date, etc. We pass the file path and a callback function to fs.stat() as arguments.

In the callback function, we check if there was any error while getting the file statistics. If an error occurred, we log it to the console and return.

If there was no error, we log the last accessed date of the file to the console using the stats.atime property. This property contains the date and time when the file was last accessed.

Note: The last accessed date might not work in some operating systems or file systems. In that case, you can use the last modified date (stats.mtime) as an alternative.
