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

To use the createLinkSync() function from fs-extra in Node.js, you need to first install the fs-extra module in your project. You can do this by running the following command in your console:

npm install fs-extra

Once you have installed the fs-extra module, you can use the createLinkSync() function to create a symbolic link synchronously. Here is an example:

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

// Define the source and destination paths.
const srcPath = '/path/to/source';
const destPath = '/path/to/destination';

// Create a symbolic link synchronously.
fs.createLinkSync(srcPath, destPath);

console.log('Symbolic link created.');

In the above example, we first require the fs-extra module using the require() function. We then define the source and destination paths as variables. Finally, we use the createLinkSync() function to create a symbolic link synchronously between the source and destination paths.

Note that the createLinkSync() function will throw an error if the destination path already exists, or if the operating system does not support symbolic links. You can use the existsSync() function to check if the destination path already exists before calling createLinkSync().
