You can use the fs.copy() function to copy a file or a directory from a source path to a destination path. Here's an example:

index.tsx
const sourcePath = "/path/to/source";
const destPath = "/path/to/destination";

fs.copy(sourcePath, destPath)
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Successfully copied file/directory!");
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error(err);
  });

In the example above, sourcePath should be a string representing the path to the file or directory you want to copy, and destPath should be a string representing the path to the destination where you want to copy the file or directory.

The fs.copy() function returns a Promise that resolves when the copy operation is complete. If the operation fails, the Promise will be rejected with an error.
