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

To use the copyFileSync function from fs-extra in JavaScript, you first need to install the package using npm. You can do this by running the following command:

npm install fs-extra

Once the package is installed, you can import it in your JavaScript file using the require function:

const fs = require('fs-extra');

After importing fs, you can use the copyFileSync function to copy a file from one location to another.

The syntax for using copyFileSync function is as follows:

fs.copyFileSync(sourceFilePath, destinationFilePath, options);

2 lines

Where sourceFilePath is a string representing the path of the file to be copied, destinationFilePath is a string representing the path of the destination where the file will be copied and options is an optional object with extra settings like the mode of the destination file.

Here's an example of how you can use the copyFileSync function:

const fs = require('fs-extra');

try {
  fs.copyFileSync('./source.txt', './destination.txt');
  console.log('File was copied successfully');
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

In the above example, the copyFileSync function is used to copy the file source.txt to destination.txt. The function is wrapped in a try-catch block to catch any errors that may occur during the copying process. Once the copying is complete, a success message is logged to the console.

This is how you can use the copyFileSync function from fs-extra in JavaScript.
