how to use the chown function from fs-extra in javascript

chown function is used to change the ownership of a file or directory in a file system. Here's how you can use it from fs-extra in JavaScript:

index.tsx
const fse = require('fs-extra');

// Set uid and gid of the file /path/to/file.txt to 123
fse.chown('/path/to/file.txt', 123, 123, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log('File ownership changed successfully!');
  }
});

// Set uid and gid of the directory /path/to/directory to 456
fse.chown('/path/to/directory', 456, 456, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log('Directory ownership changed successfully!');
  }
});

chown takes a path to the file/directory, the uid (user ID) and gid (group ID) to set, and a callback function that will be called once the operation is complete. In the above example, ownership of the file file.txt is changed to user with uid 123 and group with gid 123, while ownership of the directory /path/to/directory is changed to user with uid 456 and group with gid 456.
