To create a symbolic link using createSymlink, call the function with the source file or directory to link from, the target file or directory to link to, and optionally the type of symlink (either 'dir' or 'file'). Here's an example:

index.tsx
const sourcePath = '/path/to/source';
const targetPath = '/path/to/target';

fs.createSymlink(sourcePath, targetPath, 'dir', (err) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('Symlink created successfully!');
});

8 lines

This will create a symbolic link from the sourcePath directory to the targetPath directory with the type 'dir'. You can replace 'dir' with 'file' to create a symlink to a file instead.
